Lyrics:
Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue
Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
Said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you, that's threatening me
Can't fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime
And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time
Don't call me scar face
Can't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
And catch 22 says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight star
Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime
I dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time
Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue

Was absolutely obsessed with this band when I was a teenager. The music, the look and the message!!

I grew up in this era of genuine diversity and equality, I'm disappointed how successive generations seemed to destroy that.

We're living in Real Gangster Times boys. You fucking called it.

Still gutted by the loss of Terry Hall..

RIP Rico Rodriguez, John Bradbury and Terry Hall.

Everyone who knew Terry or ever met him say he was a lovely bloke. Sad news especially here in the midlands as he is a local hero.

"You can't fight corruption with politics. They use the law to commit crimes. I dread to think what the future will bring..." As a citizen of the future they worried about, I can say their concerns were valid.

My friend since kindergarten always loved these guys, he asked me to give them another chance, he passed away suddenly, I was then left with the Specials as his last request from me.. WOW they are incredible and extremely underrated.. Thank u Eric

RIP Terry! The Specials got me through a hellish adolescence and early adulthood. I don't know if I would even be here if it wasn't for them.

Two tones for ever. Black and white togheter.

I just heard the sad news that Terry Hall passed away on Sunday the18th!!!... I have been a fan of The Specials since the age of 11 back in 1980 and have been also into "Fun Boy Three" as well as "The Colour Field" back in my BELOVED 80s decade... Terry, you will forever be one of main music heroes!!!...
