| [00:00.000] | 作词 : Jackson Browne/Scott Thurston |
| [00:01.000] | 作曲 : Jackson Browne/Scott Thurston |
| [00:21.627] | A man stands up before is god and country |
| [00:26.807] | Raises his right hand and takes an oath |
| [00:31.819] | Swears he has acted in the line of duty |
| [00:36.814] | And he more than anyone wants to tell the truth |
| [00:41.758] | But there is a need to keep some things a secret |
| [00:47.076] | Some weapons shipments some private wars |
| [00:51.929] | In the future democracy will be defended |
| [00:57.153] | Behind closed doors |
| [01:07.550] | Now the men of congress who convene to determine |
| [01:12.812] | If covert war is a business or a crime |
| [01:17.697] | Are the same men who routinely give their permission |
| [01:22.564] | For the shedding of blood in security's name |
| [01:27.683] | And there is a need to keep some things a secret |
| [01:32.917] | The names of some countries the terms of some deals |
| [01:37.899] | And above all the sound of the screams of the innocent |
| [01:43.266] | Beneath our wheels |
| [01:47.811] | Does the word justice mean anything to you |
| [01:52.932] | Are the features of a lie beginning to come through |
| [02:18.907] | In the streets of America the children are buried |
| [02:23.961] | Caught in an avalanche of weapons and drugs |
| [02:28.640] | They live and they die in the bowels of a business |
| [02:33.613] | That's disguised as a war between the crips and the bloods |
| [02:38.551] | And there is a need to keep some things a secret |
| [02:44.024] | The CIA deals protecting the source |
| [02:48.899] | And the government policies directly connecting |
| [02:54.091] | The drugs and our wars |
| [02:58.895] | Does the word justice mean anything to you |
| [03:03.857] | As the battlefield comes home and democracy falls through |
| [03:15.156] | I am waiting for the time to come |
| [03:20.111] | When the word will be real for everyone |
| [03:25.188] | And not just a word but a thing that can be done |
| [03:32.934] | Justice must be one |
| [03:46.321] | Justice |
| [03:47.117] | repeat |
