Tekst piosenki:
[Light]
Where is the justice
When the guilty all go free?
Why don’t we lock them up
And throw away the key?
[Light's Teacher]
I see a young man’s anger
Burning in your eyes;
[Light]
What you see is my impatience
With your noble compromise;
[Light]
Show me what’s right about the wrongs that we allow
Real people need to feel protected here and now;
This whole damn system’s broken way beyond repair
It’s just law
Not law and order;
Not much good and seldom fair;
[Light's Classmate #1]
Laws were made for everyone
We’re treated all the same;
[Light]
Till a lawyer’s tricks can fix the blame;
What about the victims
Waiting for some justice?
How can we turn away
And say that's just the way things are?
What about the families
Hiding in their houses
All of them afraid to walk the street at night
With all their doors locked tight
Tell me where is the justice
If there's any justice
[Light's Teacher]
Your simple arguments have all been made before (Ensemble Oh-oh's in the background)
The world's not black and white
The choice not either, or
[Light]
Perhaps it's time we drain the color from within
Till we're back to seeing black and white
And wrong and right again
[Light's Teacher]
Overwrought pronouncements won't improve the paradigm
[Light]
Till lawyers cutting deals becomes a crime;
[Light and Ensemble]
Let the corporations make the regulations
And all go unaccountable when everything goes wrong;
Let the rich and famous get away with murder;
Every time a high-priced mouth piece starts to talk
His client gets to walk;
Tell me where is the justice?
If there’s any justice;
[Light]
Where is the justice
[Students]
Tell me where?
[Light]
For all the victims?
[Students]
Tell me where?
[Light]
Where is the justice?
What good is law that can’t punish those who break it?
[Light's Classmate #2]
Politicians make their speeches all day long;
While judges pushing pencils mostly get it wrong;
[Ensemble]
Mostly get it wrong!
[Light's Classmate #3]
Instead of loopholes for the laws to fall between;
That’s a good old fashioned payback
Grease the wheels of the machine;
[Ensemble]
Grease the wheels of the machine
[Light]
Isn’t everybody sick to death of all this stuff
Can’t we all stand up and say enough?
[Ensemble]
Time and stand up! We've had enough!
Justice
Justice
Justice
Now's the time for justice
[Light]
Listen to the fam'lies hiding in their houses;
[Ensemble]
Justice
Justice
[Light]
All of them afraid to walk the street at night
With all their doors locked tight;
[Ensemble]
Afraid to walk the streets at night
With all their doors locked tight
[Light]
We must give them their justice;
[Ensemble]
Where is the justice?
[Light]
We owe them some justice;
[Ensemble]
Where is the justice?
[Light and Ensemble]
Where is the justice?
