Megadeth - Kick the Chair lyrics
[Megadeth - Kick the Chair lyrics]
Dawn breaks evenly today
On the truth and the lie
All rise, court's in session
We're hanging someone high
Justice means nothing today
Now that the courts are for sale
Pick a crime from the menu
Pick a sentence and defend you
And pick up the down payment called bail
The system's for sale
Kick the chair, the rope's tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, I gotta hang 'em dead
Or they'll come back around kick it!
The court's wrong when it keeps track
Of victories and defeats
The press that never rests wait's
For somebody's soul they can eat
Justice means nothing today
Now that the jury's for sale
Guilty or not, the verdict's a lie
You're going to jail the system has failed
Kick the chair, the rope's tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, you gotta hang 'em dead
Or they'll come back
On the truth and the lie
All rise, court's in session
We're hanging someone high
Justice means nothing today
Now that the courts are for sale
Pick a crime from the menu
Pick a sentence and defend you
And pick up the down payment called bail
The system's for sale
Kick the chair, the rope's tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, I gotta hang 'em dead
Or they'll come back around kick it!
The court's wrong when it keeps track
Of victories and defeats
The press that never rests wait's
For somebody's soul they can eat
Justice means nothing today
Now that the jury's for sale
Guilty or not, the verdict's a lie
You're going to jail the system has failed
Kick the chair, the rope's tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, you gotta hang 'em dead
Or they'll come back
