about
Richard Garvey - voice, guitar
lyrics
Every story has at least two sides
so you can't just flip a coin when you decide
who lives, who dies
Justice oh justice. where have you gone?
you're judges and police can't be counted
so how about you and I just draw straws
the shortest one walks, the longest one crawls from the law
Justice oh justice, where have you gone?
have you forgotten to teach me right from wrong?
I was born a poor child I grew up fast
and wished I could afford
The dreams of my parents.
How they worked so hard.
to feed my mouth
try to grow
my mind
so I learned everything a boy ought know.
and I went places, good men ought not go
so curious, I questioned.
Justice oh justice, where have you been.
there's death on the streets.
whose bloods on your hands
I risked it all
just to raise my voice
to grab some attention
make some noise
I cried injustice
dissent was mine
I got beat down.
I crossed the line
the police brought me in to draw straws with the judge.
but he cried guilty wouldn't hear me plead for what I done
Justice oh justice, now I know your game
when people start to question, you build a bigger cage
Injustice, Injustice, silence is your game
I tossed you a nickel, wheres my head. whats my name
