《The Word Justice(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Word Justice (LP版) - Jackson Browne

[00:00:21] A man stands up before is god and country

[00:00:26] Raises his right hand and takes an oath

[00:00:31] Swears he has acted in the line of duty

[00:00:36] And he more than anyone wants to tell the truth

[00:00:41] But there is a need to keep some things a secret

[00:00:46] Some weapons shipments some private wars

[00:00:51] In the future democracy will be defended

[00:00:56] Behind closed doors

[00:01:07] Now the men of congress who convene to determine

[00:01:12] If covert war is a business or a crime

[00:01:17] Are the same men who routinely give their permission

[00:01:22] For the shedding of blood in security's name

[00:01:27] And there is a need to keep some things a secret

[00:01:32] The names of some countries the terms of some deals

[00:01:37] And above all the sound of the screams of the innocent

[00:01:43] Beneath our wheels

[00:01:47] Does the word justice mean anything to you

[00:01:52] Are the features of a lie beginning to come through

[00:02:18] In the streets of America the children are buried

[00:02:23] Caught in an avalanche of weapons and drugs

[00:02:28] They live and they die in the bowels of a business

[00:02:33] That's disguised as a war between the crips and the bloods

[00:02:38] And there is a need to keep some things a secret

[00:02:43] The C I A deals protecting the source

[00:02:48] And the government policies directly connecting

[00:02:53] The drugs and our wars

[00:02:58] Does the word justice mean anything to you

[00:03:03] As the battlefield comes home and democracy falls through

[00:03:14] I am waiting for the time to come

[00:03:19] When the word will be real for everyone

[00:03:24] And not just a word but a thing that can

[00:03:28] Be done

[00:03:32] Justice must be one

[00:03:40] Justice

[00:03:45] Justice

[00:03:55] Justice

[00:04:01] Justice

[00:04:06] Justice
