Brendan Dassey and the Others

167 BPM

VERSE

Dm

Did you know the police, are allowed to lie?

Say they've damning evidence, which you'd never deny

F

Something's wrong 

G

Something's wrong 

Once someone has recorded, a plainly false confession

Almost nothing ever, can exonerate them

Something's wrong 

Something's wrong 

Even over DNA evidence, that proves innocence

A confession almost always, takes precedent

Something's wrong 

Something's wrong 

BRIDGE

G                                      Dm

Hey Brendan we're rooting for you

     F                                   Am

We know the allegations, are not true

F                              G

Hold on a little bit longer

CHORUS

                       C

When you get out

Am                 G

What d'ya wanna do?

F                      G

Where d'ya wanna go?

When you get out

All of this will seem

Just like a bad dream

When you get out

VERSE

When a minor's susepected, are you aware?

The police can interview, without an adult there

Something's wrong  

Something's wrong 

police get taught, in interrogration school?

To learn to get confessions, with psychological tools

Something's wrong  

Something's wrong 

 the appeals process, is inherently imperfect

Its there to uphold, the validity of verdicts

Something's wrong  

Something's wrong 

BRIDGE

CHORUS

MIDDLE 

      G                                Dm

Hey Governor - Did you watch the documentary?

     F                                               Am

The case is flawed fundamentally. Go back to elementary

Hey Governor - What goes on in Wisconsin?

Is there commonsense then? 

F                              G

What's your response then?
