Kick the chair

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 is 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 just waits
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 is tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, ya 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 is 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 just waits
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 is tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, ya gotta hang ´em dead
Or they´ll come back
