I Fought The Law

It's a Saturday night
The police are trying to ruin my good time
They got no right
But it doesn't seem to matter, cause it happens every time

I try to get close to you
Instead, I see those flashes of red and blue
There's nothing left to say but: Oh no oh-oh-oh no
What am I supposed to do?

C'ause I fought the law with all my might
I fought the law, but I just could not win that fight
Just like our founding fathers, I fought to be free
I fought the law, but the law beat the shit out of me

Another Saturday night
Fucking pigs are trying to ruin my good time
They got no right
But it doesn't seem to matter, cause it happens every time

I try to get close to you
Instead, I see those flashes of red and blue
There's nothing left to say but: Oh no oh-oh-oh no
What am I supposed to do?

'Cause I fought the law
Yes I did!

'Cause I fought the law with all my might
I fought the law, but I just could not win that fight
Oh no, I hope that somebody is taping this and they play it on TV (I fought the law)
A cable news expose on police brutality (I fought the law)
Just like president Benjamin Franklin, I fought to be free
I fought the law, but the law beat the shit out of me
