right to remain silent

you have the right to remain silent

anything you say can be used against you

before things start to get violent

and i latch on to what you've said

you have the right to remain silent

to walk out the door

when the room is vacant

there will be no more echoes

i was right to remain silent

when we were ready to draw blood

before i started a riot

i held my tongue

i was right to remain silent

waiting for our hearts to turn tender

for the storm to stop lashing the island

and held the fort strong for us
