Where the winds of change were blowin', there lived a God-fearing man He was turning through his Bible when he came up with a plan He painted up a sign and held it high above his head Waved it proudly in the air and this is what it read You can't break the law There are reasons for the rules They keep things safe here for everyone You Sinners, Saints, and Fools The poor and huddled masses Who are hungry and afraid You gotta do it by the book and there'll be No exceptions made To the weary, desperate souls who washed up on the sand He said, "We haven't seen your paperwork" and he withdrew his hand But he never felt any safer, or the peace he hoped he'd find And up until the day he died, he never changed his mind You can't break the law There are reasons for the rules They keep things safe here for everyone You Sinners, Saints, and Fools The poor and huddled masses Who are hungry and afraid You gotta do it by the book and there'll be No exceptions made By the time he got to Heaven, it was surrounded by a wall The pearly gates were locked up tight, the golden chains and all They said, "We cannot let just anyone walk in here anymore You didn't do it by the book," and then they pointed to the floor You can't break the law There are reasons for the rules They keep things safe here for everyone You Sinners, Saints, and Fools The poor and huddled masses Who are hungry and afraid You gotta do it by the book and there'll be No exceptions made
