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?
Cause 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 sh** out of me
Another Saturday night
f**ing 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 sh** out of me
