Lyrics
Remain Silence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't stand there lying
Straight to my face
You're not a lawyer
You got no case
And your alibi
It don't make sense
You're just a criminal
I got all the evidence
They say the truth will set you free
But the less you say the better off you will be
You have the right to remain silent
You know you're guilty
Don't even try it
Don't lie
I won't buy it
Just walk away
And remain silent
I'm the judge I'm the jury
Justice will be swift
There will be no mercy
The punishment will fit the crime
And one thing's for sure
You're gonna do some time
But you know the truth will set you free
But the less you say the better off you will be
Anything you say
Can and will be used against you
And you don't need any more help
Incriminating yourself
