The song Laws Have Changed is performed by The New Pornographers in the album named Electric Version in the year 2003 .
It was crime at the time but the laws, we changed 'em, though the hero for hire's forever the same one
Introducing for the first time, Pharaoh on the microphone
Sing all hail, what'll be revealed today when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne? Awakened to cheers after years on the faultline, we are shocked to be here in the face of the meantime
Pharaoh, all your methods have taught me is to separate my blood from bone
It will all fail, feeling what I feel today, when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne
Form a line through here, form a line to the throne
Alone in the chain, it remains to be seen how, how well you can play when the pawn takes a queen now
Introducing for the first time, Pharaoh on the microphone
Sing all hail, what'll be revealed today when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne? Form a line through here, form a line to the throne
It was crime at the time but the laws have changed, yeah
