SONG LYRICS:
Don't say a word
You know they lie
The system is blurred
And so we fight
So don't say a word
You know they lie
They pulled it out of you
A story with no truth
over your head
They get up in your face
Tell you you'll be safe
If you say what they said
Don't say a word
You know they lie
The family get hurt
And so we fight
No shred of evidence
Victim of circumstance
Put you away
How do they sleep at night
Knowing it's not right
They know that they made you say
Don't say a word
You know they lie
Their power is earned
And so we fight
No alibi so they say what they like
Confuse, distort and deceive
See it's the law using their last straw
Tell me who they gonna believe
Don't say a word
You know they lie
What have we learned
You know they lie
Just like a bad dream
You know they lie
Millions have seen
You know they lie
A life locked away
You know they lie
We hope and we pray
