Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Drinking beer in the hot sun
I fought the law and I won
I fought the law and I won
I needed sex and I got mine
I fought the law and I won
I fought the law and I won
[Verse 2]
The law don't mean shit if you've got the right friends
That's how this country's run
Twinkies are the best friend I ever had
I fought the law and I won
I fought the law and I won
[Verse 3]
I blew George and Harvey's brains out with my six-gun
I fought the law and I won
I fought the law and I won
Gonna write my book and make a million
I fought the law and I won
I fought the law and I won
[Verse 4]
I'm the new folk hero of the Ku Klux Klan
My cop friends think that's fine
You can get away with murder if you got a badge
I fought the law and I won
I fought the law and I won
[Verse 5]
I fought the law and I won
I am the law, so I won
