No, MeganB, YOU'RE wrong, it is "I fought the law and I won" not to be confused with "I fought the law and the law won", this is actually a Cover of a Cover, the song "I fought the law and the law won" was originally written by the Bobby Fuller Four, the Clash later covered it with immense success like Oooska said, and then the Dead Kennedys covered the song..But changed the lyrics around, the DK song is about a politician who murdered the openly gay Mayor of San Francisco and another person ( Hence, I blew Harvey & George out with my six-gun ), and got away with only 6 years in prison, his defense was that he went temporarily insane from eating too many Twinkies...When the cops heard of the murder, they cheered and clapped and supported him, anyway..I just wanted to get things straight - the lyrics are correct.
Actually it was the Mayor of San Francisco (George Mascone), who was not gay, and Harvey Milk, who was the first openly gay man elected to public office (city supervisor).

joining this 12 years late but thug murder are breaking rocks (like the clash) the dead kennedys drink beer. The title says this is the thug murder song so the lyrics uptop are wrong. the bit in brackets about being a dead kennedys cover is just plain misleading.
