Irony
You gave your story
We heard your side
There was a plea of innocence and alibi
Stating that justice should favor you
Due to the list wicked things you witnessed other people do
It's on your merit
You made your claim
And as you've done to others
You'd have us
Do to you the same
It's on your merit
You took the stand
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
But will you see, the irony
Did you know that debt that you have made
No perfect thing you do could ever repay?
For Justice knows the balance and your case cannot be won
By pressing down the scales with your own thumb
For one word you spoke has done a hundred harm
One phrase you turned has left a thousand scars
There's only one of you to damage, yet the world has millions more
Drowning in the fount of pain you've poured
It's on your merit
You made your claim
And as you've done to others
You'd have us
Do to you the same
It's on your merit
You took the stand
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
But will you see, the irony
This pride has left you blinded or willfully confused
You thought that when you cried for justice, the target wasn't you
Yet in the end your fatal flaw, the measurements were wrong
For you saw the sins of others, as greater than your own
On your merit
You made your claim
And as you've done to others
You'd have us
Do to you the same
It's on your merit
It comes to pass
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
We heard your side
There was a plea of innocence and alibi
Stating that justice should favor you
Due to the list wicked things you witnessed other people do
It's on your merit
You made your claim
And as you've done to others
You'd have us
Do to you the same
It's on your merit
You took the stand
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
But will you see, the irony
Did you know that debt that you have made
No perfect thing you do could ever repay?
For Justice knows the balance and your case cannot be won
By pressing down the scales with your own thumb
For one word you spoke has done a hundred harm
One phrase you turned has left a thousand scars
There's only one of you to damage, yet the world has millions more
Drowning in the fount of pain you've poured
It's on your merit
You made your claim
And as you've done to others
You'd have us
Do to you the same
It's on your merit
You took the stand
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
But will you see, the irony
This pride has left you blinded or willfully confused
You thought that when you cried for justice, the target wasn't you
Yet in the end your fatal flaw, the measurements were wrong
For you saw the sins of others, as greater than your own
On your merit
You made your claim
And as you've done to others
You'd have us
Do to you the same
It's on your merit
It comes to pass
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
