I've Got Rights Lyrics

I went down to the Mary Carter Paint store
I said, give me one of them Smith & Wesson Magnum .44s
'Cause there's a man that the law let loose and justice was not done
This man he killed my wife and my only little son

I'll never forget the way he looked all through the trial
He had a big name lawyer and he had that smirky smile
Oh yeah, he got you off on a technicality
But you'd have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me

'Cause I got rights, I got rights too
And this time there won't be no damn lawyers and systems to protect you
But I'm gonna read you... I'm gonna read you your rights
You got a right to know that you're gonna go to hell one of these black nights

And when the trial was over he had the nerve to say that's the way it goes
I said, well hoss you better get you some corks cause your gonna have to plug up a few holes
I guess he thought I was talkin' just to pass away time
But he kinda looks different now on his knees beggin' for his life

Hey I got rights, I got some rights too
And this time there won't be no damn lawyers and systems to protect you
But I'm gonna read you... I'm gonna read you your rights
Because I want you to know that your gonna go to hell one of these black nights

Naw, and this time there ain't no damn lawyers and systems... to save you
