(ian hunter) |
|
He searched through his love like a thief on the run |
|
He searched through his face - to see the guilt water run |
|
But he's fresh out of tears and nobody has come |
|
And justice has got to be done |
|
Oh moon in the city stay open and clear |
|
For his vision ain't good and his mind's disappeared |
|
"get along mother nature" they spat at your son |
|
So justice has got to be done |
|
And beauty is lying alone in the park |
|
Her friend has gone bowling in the alleys so dark |
|
Where's her knight in white armour who rides a chrome ford |
|
Justice would seem to be bored |
|
Justice would seem to be bored |
|
A knife full of life penetrated the bait |
|
While he thinks 'o the sister and the mother that he hates |
|
And he thinks he'll get off 'cos he's sick, and stoned |
|
And justice was made to be honed |
|
And justice was made to be honed |
|
And his lawyer is smiling one hell of a smile |
|
'n he's lying all the lies - of the lies in exile |
|
While she's dying of grief he's defending his brief |
|
And justice would seem to be cheap |
|
And justice would seem to be cheap |
|
Well i've searched through the falling, and i searched through the failed |
|
I've searched through the jury - the judge and the jailed |
|
But sleeping beauty is dead no use pricking her thumb |
|
And justice has got to be done |
|
Justice just is - justice just is - justice just is - not! |
