Plead The 5th

[Verse 1] Sworn to truth with a poisoned tongue Silver smiles hide the smoking gun Paper shields and a tailored grin Whole damn trial rigged to win Evidence buried, files erased Justice blindfolded, tightly laced Every question cuts too deep Funny how the guilty never speak [Pre-Chorus] Say my name, I won’t resist But you won’t get shit from my lips [Chorus] I PLEAD THE FIFTH — no answers, no regrets Truth’s a weapon I won’t let you get I PLEAD THE FIFTH — go choke on it instead You want confession? You get silence… dead [Verse 2] Objection overruled again Same old circus, same pretend Gold-plated lies in black and white Legal theft in plain sight Gavel falls like loaded dice Freedom sold at bargain price Ask for truth, receive deceit Rotten teeth behind elite [Pre-Chorus] Read the oath, recite the script But I won’t help you tighten the grip [Chorus] I PLEAD THE FIFTH — no answers, no regrets Truth’s a weapon I won’t let you get I PLEAD THE FIFTH — go choke on it instead You want confession? You get silence… dead [Bridge] (Half-time / stomp groove) Courtroom kings in suits and ties Feeding crowds prepackaged lies All rise… kneel… obey… submit Whole damn system full of shit [Breakdown / Shout Section] PLEAD THE FIFTH BITE YOUR TONGUE LOCK THE TRUTH LOAD THE GUN PLEAD THE FIFTH SEAL THE LIPS WATCH THE WORLD LOSE ITS SHIT [Final Chorus] I PLEAD THE FIFTH — no answers, no regrets Truth’s a weapon I won’t let you get I PLEAD THE FIFTH — verdict’s already read You built the gallows — now lie in the bed
