Song lyrics
I'm breakin' rocks in a hot sun
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won

I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won

I left my baby, and it feels so bad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won

I lost my girl, and I lost my fun
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won

I left my baby, and it feels so bad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the

I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won

I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law and the law

a great song. my favourite by the clash. controversial i know, but i reckon this is even better than the amazing london calling (which most people rate as their best)

ah yes it was an amazing song. one of my personal faves. sorry to burst your bubbles though but the clash didnt write it. a little band called buddy holly and the crickets is responsible for it.

Hey you were pretty close. It wasn't Buddy Holly and the Crickets. If you look back you would have realized that Buddy was passes away at the time Sam wrote this song. The original was performed by The Crickets. But damn it would have been awesome to hear Buddy singing it.

I love this version of the song. I don't especially like some of the lyrics but that's not the Clash's fault
