Just because it's legal doesn't make it right.
Just because it's illegal doesn't make it wrong.
Where I live I can own a kangaroo -
How ‘bout you?
Where I live I can shoulder a gun -
I don’t want one.
‘Cause there’s an ocean between
What I want to do and what somebody tells me I can
I don’t require rules to run my life
Laws are just made up by some man.
Where I live I can drive a beat up car -
Is it the same where you are?
Where I live a wounded robber can sue -
Are you surprised this is true?
Oh, there’s an ocean between
What I want to do and what somebody says is allowed
I don’t require rules to run my life
That’s just how to control a crowd.
The law that I follow is as old as the sun
Every culture knows it by heart
Treat every human with love - every one
Or else society falls apart
Where I live I can’t get drunk on a train -
I don’t complain.
Where I live I can’t swear in front of kids -
Did you think I did?
No, there’s an ocean between
What I want to do and what somebody says I can
I don’t require rules to run my life
Laws are just made up by some man.
Yes , there’s an ocean between
What I want to do and what somebody tells me I may
The only law I follow is the law of love…
It’s the only rule needed today.
It’s the only rule needed today.
I don’t think you’ll ever find a better way.

That's an opening line for the ages. You definitely got my attention--and then you can slip in your message. There's a nice rhythm to it as well: There's an ocean between...etc. really rolls off the tongue
