We're sitting here in this cell
You know it's like a living hell
Was what you did really a crime?
The judge says you have to serve time

[Chorus]
It's the law, you're in jail
It's the law that sets your bail<r> Don't bother to try and fight
It's only a few more nights

The deputy had a bad night
He couldn't get it up for his wife
So he's gonna be pissed on the job and
He's gonna bum out your life

[Chorus]
