Justice

Time isn’t only a song
it’s the pressure of my doom
There’s a man in a white suit
I don’t trust
he’d probably like me to think so,
but I don’t think he’s Jesus

What do you want from me
There’s justice everywhere
for the guilty
but none to be found
for the innocent
Maybe it’s there somewhere
but not nearly often enough
Nevertheless, I’ll take it
when it comes

I’m not sure i can keep this up
’cause I can see right through
Maybe it’s time to leave
I never promised I’d stay here when
the World turned upside down
and I don’t believe
this is the way it’s always been

There could be justice here,
but no one’s interested
get their hypocrisy and hatred
from Fox “News”
Rabbi Schmuley I don’t trust
he’d probably like me to think so,
but I don’t think he’s Jesus

People with twisted ideas
of what morality really is
wouldn’t know the difference
between right and wrong
or guilt and innocence
if it bit them on the ass
They’ll waste another afternoon
destroying the lives of millions
with sheer willful ignorance

You know, people should really
stop tearing each other apart
but will they do it before it’s too late
for someone else I love?
Maybe it’s time to leave
I never promised I’d stay here when
the World turned upside down
and I just can’t believe
this is the way it’s always been
