I've Got Rights

I went down
 To the Mary Carter paint store
 I said give me one of them
 Smith and 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 named lawyer
 And he had that smirky smile
 Oh yeah, he got you off
 On a technicality
 But you'll 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 lawyer
 And system to protect you
 But I'm gonna read you
 I'm gonna read you your rights
 You gotta 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 you're gonna have to plug up a few holes"
 Guess he thought I was talking
 Just to pass away time
 But it kinda looks different now
 On his knees begging for his life
 Hey, I got rights
 I got some rights too
 And this time there won't 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 you're gonna go
 To hell one of these black nights
 Now, this time need no damn lawyers
 And systems to save you
