In that song, the law won. Not the outcome I'd be hoping for.
Granted...
However, the lyrics seem to be sung from the point of view of someone who turned to crime after the system failed them, and the Clash make it sound defiant and powerful despite the outcome.
It's time to settle some grievances with the Law.
EDIT: I mean, just imagine that first guitar riff coming in right after someone kicks Thomas square in the nuts as the opening salvo... beautiful.
Even in our fantasies we wouldn't get away with it. But much ass would be whooped nonetheless.
