Kick the Chair

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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! [Verse 2] The court's wrong when it keeps track Of victories and defeats The press that never rests waits For somebody's soul they can eat, ooh-ow! 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 [Chorus] 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 [Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine] [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo: Chris Poland]
