About Breaking the Law

This song, with its extremely simple main riff and chorus, was released as a single from the British Steel album, and was one of Judas Priest's big breakthrough songs. It is now considered one of the most famous Hard Rock/Heavy Metal songs ever. The lyrics tell of someone who gets tired of everything that comes with an ordinary life - that life has become boring. This leads the person to take a chance and start breaking the law. The song featured some sound effects, including the sound of breaking glass and a police siren. .

Breaking the Law Lyrics

[00:12.40] There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
[00:18.33] All inside, it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town
[00:24.26] Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
[00:30.16] So I might as well begin to put some action in my life
[00:36.20] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[00:39.32] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[00:42.38] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[00:45.28] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[00:47.56] So much for the golden future, I can't even start
[00:53.43] I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
[00:59.73] You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
[01:05.14] If you did, you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too
[01:11.37] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[01:14.65] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[01:17.59] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[01:20.38] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[01:34.73] You don't know what it's like
[02:09.06] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[02:11.71] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[02:14.97] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[02:17.99] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[02:20.51] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[02:23.57] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[02:26.41] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[02:29.65] Breaking the law, breaking the law
[02:31.14]
