Megadeth Kick the Chair song lyrics

Dawn breaks evenly today

On the truth and the lie

All rise, court's in session

We'll hang 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 pay the down payment called bail

The system's for sale

Kick the chair, the ropes 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 rest just waits

For someone'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 ropes tight

Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out

Friend or foe, ya gotta hang 'em dead

Or they'll come back

(guitar solos til end)
