"I Fought the Law" (Dead Kennedys) Lyrics:

Drinkin’ beer in the hot sun
I fought the law and I won

I needed sex and I got mine
I fought the law and I won

The law don’t mean shit if you’ve got the right friends
That’s how the country’s run
Twinkies are the best friend I’ve ever had
I fought the law
And I won

I blew george & harvey’s brains out with my six-gun
I fought the law and I won

Gonna write my book and make a million
I fought the law and I won

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’ve got a badge
I fought the law
And I won
I am the law
So I won

The entire lyric of Like A Rolling Stone is exquisitely apt:

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall'
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scroungin' for your next meal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you're going to have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realise
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't whre it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

Princess on the steeple, and all the pretty people
They're drinkin' thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and rings
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rollng stone?
