Kick the Chair Lyrics
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 track
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
On the truth and the lie
All rise, court's in session
We're hanging someone high
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
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!
Of victories and defeats
The press that never rest just waits
For somebody's soul they can eat
Now that the jury's for sale
Guilty or not, the verdict's a lie
You're going to jail
The system has failed
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, ya gotta hang em dead
Or they'll come back

killer song! one of the best megadeth's songs ever!
Rust In Peace era guitar work...NICE!
Kick ass solo
the lyric rockz
I can't believe this song doesn't have more comments.. very powerful.
True. I can't believe it either. This song rocks as well as The System Has Failed. I like it even more than United Abominations, IMO it's Megadeth's best after Rust in Peace of course.
Dude yeah. This song is amazing. The guitar solo always gives me goose bumps, and the lyrics get me all pumped to go kick things.
I'm pretty sure this song is supposed to get you pissed at the justice system, not pumped to go kick things.
amazin song man!!!! the solo is amazin man!!!!! ALL HALE MUSTAINE!!!!!!!:P
