Gangsters Lyrics - No Doubt

(originally recorded by the Specials) 

performed live by No Doubt 

Why must you record my phone calls 

Are you planning a bootleg LP 

You said you've been threatened by gangsters 

Now it's you that's threatening me 

Can't fight corruption with con tricks. 

The youth, they love to commit crime 

I dread, dread to think what the future will bring 

When we're living in gangster times 

Don't call me skaface... 

Don't interrupt while I'm talking 

Or they'll confiscate all your guitars 

A catch-22 says if I sing a tune 

They will make me an overnight star
