I think the lyric says it all.

And believe me, I've known enough victims of this trick to know they are 100% true.

So next time you read about someone and think "they MUST be guilty; they pleaded guilty" - listen to this little song.

PLEAD GUILTY
Facing false allegations
Don’t seek felicitations
Or good prognostications;
They won’t be.
Your legal expectations
Will bypass all the stations
Defying good relations
Just you see.
You may have done no wrong
Your morals may be strong
You’ll want to scream and shout
And let it all hang out
But I am warning you
The verdict’s never true
WHATEVER YOU DO…
Plead Guilty.

You’ll never get a break
They’ll tie you to the stake
Get out for heaven’s sake;
Plead Guilty.
Your brief in grubby wig
Says “if you give a fig
The sentence will be big”
Unless he
Comes up with a solution,
Does deals with prosecution,
“The judge in restitution
Will bow to prostitution
And you’ll go almost free
That’s how the law will be
WHATEVER YOU DO…
Plead Guilty”.

The jury doesn’t care
They wish they wasn’t there
They only hope you’ll dare
Plead Guilty.
The law ignores the truth,
No need for any proof,
Justice remains aloof
Plead Guilty.
When you’re in jail for years
Don’t bother shedding tears
Never trust men in gowns
Who are there to put you down
They only want to screw
You for just being you
Don’t
WHATEVER YOU DO…
Plead Guilty.
Don’t
WHATEVER YOU DO…
Plead Guilty.
