[Light]
Where is the justice
When the guilty all go free
Why don t we lock them up
And throw away the key
[Teacher]
I see a young man s anger burning in your eyes
[Light]
What you see is my impatience
With your noble compromise
Show me what s right about
The wrongs that we allow
Real people need to feel
Protected here and now
This whole damn system s broken way beyond repair
It s just law not law and order
Not much good and seldom fair
[Teacher]
Laws are made for everyone
We re treated all the same
[Light]
Till a lawyer s tricks can fix the blame
Let the corporations
Make the regulations
And hold no one accountable
When everything goes wrong
Let the rich and famous
Get away with murder
Every time a high-priced
Mouth-piece starts to talk
His client gets to walk
Tell me, where is the justice?
If thereâs any justice
[Students]
Where s the justice?
Tell me where!
[Light]
Where is the justice
For all the victims?
[Students]
Tell me where!
[Light]
Where is the justice?
What good is law that canât
Punish those who break it?
[Student #2]
Politicians
Make their speeches all day long
While judges pushing pencils
Mostly get it wrong
(Mostly get it wrong!)
[Student #3]
Instead of loopholes
For the laws to fall between
Let some good old-fashioned pay-back
Grease the wheels of a machine
[Light]
Isn t everybody sick to death of all this stuff?
Can t we all stand up and say enough?
(Justice, justice, justice, now s the time for)
[Light]
Listen to the families
Hiding in their houses
All of them afraid to walk the streets at night
With all their doors locked tight
We must give them their justice
[Outro]
We owe them some justice
Where is the justice?
