On a New York subway late one night
4 young men thought the time was right
To rob a lone man of his pride and cash
But he pulled a gun and took a stand
They got scared and they started to run
Bernard Goetz pulled the trigger of his gun
Now he's a victim of the law
That should have been there to protect his rights
CHORUS
Stick to your guns - don't let'em put down
Stick to your guns - don't ever let them put you down
Now he's in court being sued by his attacker
A violent young man with a criminal record
The court found Goetz guilty as charged
And on that day I lost respect for the law
So if you're attacked, aim for their heads
Coz they can't sue you if their fuckin' dead
CHORUS
