Biografía:
The Specials es una banda británica de ska (más precisamente del estilo que se conoce como 2 Tone) formada en 1977 en Coventry. Junto a Madness es una de las bandas más importantes que haya dado el género. Luego de muchos años de estar separados, en 2009 han vuelto al ruedo, subidos al revival que el 2 tone y el ska esta viviendo en el mundo.
Empezaron tocando ska y punk; más tarde fusionaron todo estos estilos, creando un nuevo sonido que fue concido como 2 Tone.

[Verse 1]
Am G# Am
Why must you record my phone calls?
G# Am
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
Am G# Am
You Said you've been threatened by gangsters
D C E7
Now it's you that's threatening me.
[Verse 2]
Am G# Am
Can't fight corruption with con tricks,
G# Am
They use the law to commit crime.
G# Am
And I dread, dread to think, what the future will bring,
C G E7
When we're living in gangster time.
(Don't call me Scarface)

[Verse 3]
Am G# Am
Don't interrupt while I'm talking,
G# Am
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars,
G# Am
A catch 22 says, if I sing the truth
c G E7
They won't make me an overnight star.
[Verse 4]
Am G#
Don't offer us legal protection,
Am G#
They use the law to commit crime.
G# Am
And I dread, to think, what the future will bring,
C G E7
When we're living in real gangster time.
(Bernie Rhodes knows; don't argue!)
