Law of the Land Lyrics

Law of the land
Well, well, well, well
Some people are always heaven made
Some people will live impermanent for the rest of their days
Time marches on
Yesterday is better than tomorrow
Life is uncertain, let me hear you say 'yeah'
That is that, oh yes it is
There'll be days of sunshine and laughter
But don't forget you will have to shed some tears - oho

It's the law of the land - my brother - oh
Whether you like it or you'll understand - ah hey hey
It's the law of the land - hey hey hey hey
'Cause made by almighty men

Live by the good book if you're able
You must play your cards on top of the table
When you gamble you either win or lose
In life's ev'rybody's got to pay some dues - well

It's the law of the land - well well well
Whether you'll like it or you'll understand - you can't change it
It's the law of the land - ah-how
'Cause made by almighty men - oh hey

Hey, it's the law, the law of the land
Whether you'll like it or you'll understand
It's the law, the law of the land
'Cause made by almighty men

A teacher man can't be found
Until you find yourself - think about it
You might not like being, well you ought, but you'd better start like it
But you sure can't be nobody else
In other words: I can't be you - ain't no quit, yeah - you can't be me
Well well, that's all with you, my sister an' brother
And that's the way that good life meant to be - hey-ho

It's the law of the land - well
Whether you like it or you'll understand - say say
It's the law of the land - hey yeah oh
'Cause made by almighty men

Look at here
The tools of a ????man's day has got him by corrupt????
For your own protection your Gods you must love
What goes around comes around
And what goes up, yeah, must come down - aha

It's the law of the land - well well well well
Whether you like it or you'll understand
It's the law of the land - well well well
'Cause made by almighty men - aha

It's the law of the land - ev'rybody else say
Whether you like it or you'll understand ...

The Undisputed Truth was a 1970s Motown recording act, assembled by record producer Norman Whitfield as a means for being able to experiment with his psychedelic soul production techniques. Joe Harris served as main lead singer, with Billie Rae Calvin and Brenda Joyce, formerly of The Delicates, on additional leads and background vocals.

History
The group's music and unusual costuming (large Afros and white makeup) typified the then-popular trend of "psychedelic soul". A number of their singles became minor hits, and many of them were also songs for Whitfield's main act The Temptations, among them "You Make Your Own Heaven and Hell Right Here on Earth" and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone". Their single Top 40 hit in the United States was the ominous "Smiling Faces Sometimes", also originally recorded by The Temptations, which hit #3 on the US pop charts in 1971.

The Undisputed Truth, along with Rose Royce and Willie Hutch, followed Whitfield during his exodus from Motown to set up Whitfield Records in 1975. At this time, Calvin and Joyce left the group, and Harris was joined by new members Taka Boom, Tyrone "Lil Ty" Barkley, and Calvin "Dhaak" Stephenson. The group's costuming and style changed as well, becoming even more unusual and Funkadelic-influenced. However, the group had little success at the new label, and faded into obscurity after two more albums, although they charted in the UK in 1977 (#43) with the disco single "You + Me = Love" from the album Method to the Madness.
