[ Sung to the tune of: I Fought the Law and the
Law Won
by Sonny Curtis (1958) and revised by The
Bobby Fuller Four (1965).]
I was headin' for a cell for a long run.*
I fought the law and it won.
I fought the law and it won.
Servin' time in the hot sun,
Don't seem like rich boy fun.
I needed clemency 'cuz I had none.
I fought the law and it won.
I fought the law and it won.
Honoring vows is no fun.
I fought the law and it won.
I fought the law and it won.
I miss my innocence,
And it feels so bad.
I guess my fate is done.
'Cuz it's the ruse I don't have.
I fought the law and it won.
I fought the law and it won.
Then King George made justice come un-done.
I fought the law and I won.
I fought the law and I won.
It feels so good to be a chosen one,
Not subject to laws like people com-mon,
I fought the law and I won.
I fought the law and I won.
Being a royal like George is great fun.
We laugh and disregard the constitu-tion.
Creating wars, then wealth for chosen ones.
We fought the law and we won.
We fought the law and we won.
