Section 32 or Putting Words in Your Mouth

You have the right to remain silent.
You have been charged with a criminal offence
And you are guilty till proven innocent.

You have been accused of possession with intent
Do you have anything to say in your defence?
You have the right to remain silent.

We believe this is not the first incident.
We will search the premises for evidence
And you are guilty till proven innocent.

Force will be necessary if you are resistant 
It will be at your own expense.
You have the right to remain silent.

Right, Andy, the cuffs, no use getting violent
You're only going to make this more intense
And you are guilty till proven innocent.

Or we can have your cooperation spent
Helping our inquiries to make some sense.
You have the right to remain silent
And you are guilty if proven innocent.
