[Intro — smiling announcer over a blast beat]
One prize.
One blacklist.
Same fucking Friday.
Splendid.
[Verse — crossover thrash]
The law looks lovely
With its mouth sewn shut.
A tasteful little principle
That never interrupts.
Put it on the letterhead.
Put it in the speech.
Why has the fucking ornament
Developed teeth?
[Chorus — grotesquely cheerful gang vocals]
PIN THE MEDAL!
GAG THE COURT!
FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!
EXCELLENT WORK!
[Call / Response — lead snarls; gang plays the authority]
DO YOU LOVE THE LAW?
FROM A SAFE DISTANCE!
DO YOU LOVE THE LAW?
WITH A PRIVATE EXIT!
DO YOU LOVE THE LAW?
WHEN IT KNOWS ITS PLACE!
WHAT IF IT LOOKS UP?
FREEZE! FREEZE! FREEZE!
[Verse — broken into four abrupt riff changes]
You want a judge
Who comes with a mute.
A universal rule
With an escape hatch for you.
You want the robe.
You hate the reach.
You want the fucking courthouse
House-trained on a leash.
[Chorus — gang vocals; lead laughs underneath]
PIN THE MEDAL!
GAG THE COURT!
FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!
EXCELLENT WORK!
[Bridge — mock congratulatory message; bass only]
We salute your independence.
Terms and conditions apply.
Your courage is important to us.
Please hold until you die.
[Breakdown — lead / gang; no laughter]
HOW DO YOU PLEAD?
TOO BIG TO ANSWER!
HOW DO YOU PLEAD?
TOO BIG TO ASK!
[Outro — dry voice; hard cut]
You froze an account.
That's not an alibi.
