I've Got Rights

Hank Williams, Jr.

Transposer:

Intro: I went down to the Mary Carter paint store I said "Give me one of them Smith & Wesson Magnum 44’s" 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 yea he got off on a technicality But you’ll have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me Chorus: Cause I got rights I got rights too And this time there won’t be no damn lawyers Or systems to protect you Cause I’m gonna read you I’m gonna read you your rights You’ve got a right to know that you’re gonna go To hell one of these black nights When the trial was over he had the nerve to say "That’s the way it goes" Well I said "Hoss you better get some corks cause you’re gonna have to plug up a few holes" I guess he thought I was talking’ just to pass away time But he kinda looks different now on his knees beggin’ for his life Chorus

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui, après avoir perdu sa femme et son fils à cause d'un meurtrier bénéficiant de complicités juridiques, se retrouve poussé à la vengeance. Il se rend dans un magasin d'armes pour chercher à se venger de cet homme qui a échappé à la justice, malgré ses actes horribles. Le protagoniste exprime sa détermination à faire payer le coupable, en affirmant que personne ne pourra le protéger cette fois-ci. Le contexte de la chanson évoque un profond désespoir face à un système judiciaire perçu comme défaillant. L'homme, face au sourire arrogant de son adversaire, ressent un besoin de justice personnel, prêt à ignorer les règles pour obtenir réparation. C'est un cri du cœur sur la frustration et l'impuissance que l'on peut ressentir lorsqu'on perçoit une injustice.
