A song for entering law students

Ok, one more: one song for entering law students.  It's gotta be I Fought the Law and the Law Won. I recommend the defiant Clash version rather than the more defeatist original by the Bobby Fuller Four.  I further suggest it as a ringtone. 

The point isn't the words of the song, but that whatever is in your brain when you enter law school, it will be replaced by the law, however much you fight it. But as the Clash would say, you may as well go down fighting.

Why not the Dead Kennedys' far more hopeful and defiant, "I Fought the Law (And I Won)?"
