Lyrics
Kick the Chair
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.
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 pay 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 tracks
Of victories and defeats
The press that never rest, 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's tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, ya gotta hang'em dead
Or they'll come back!
