I FOUGHT THE LAW
We thought we’d show they’re not welcome
So me and my mates and some Nazi scum
“Send them back to where they come from”
I fought the law but the law won.
I fought the law but the law won.
We set some wheelie bins alight
“Yorkshire! Yorkshire!”; find a fight
Falling for what Twitter spun
Ignorant or just plain dumb.
I fought the law but the law won.
I fought the law but the law won.
This is good old fashioned fun
We’ve got the coppers on the run
We’ll see our photos in The Sun
I fought the law but the law won.
I fought the law but the law won.
So with the coppers we all fought
Now I find myself in court
Detained at King Charles’ pleasure
“Act in haste; repent at leisure”
My two year sentence has begun
I fought the law but the law won.
I fought the law but the law won.

Thanks, MC. Personally, as a punishment I think some of these sentences for some of these crimes are excessive. But that’s not the point, is it? The point is not about punishment,; it’s about deterrence.
