Justified
We went running with no destination
After the burned out rubber fell in love with the pavement
And the dust followed our feet
When we decided to run from the earth
And the blood on our neighbor's streets
Reminded us of our worth
And they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
Yes, they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
We went flying above the hundred and fourth floor
After the tumbling windows called the name of who we did this for
And the smoke blinded our eyes
When we denied to see what we'd done
And the bombs that torched our skin
Counted down from three two one
And they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
Yes, they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
No. We were doing what our fathers told us to
Set our lives on fire to hear, "I'm proud of you."
No. We were doing what our mothers told us to
Cutting out our hearts to be pure for you. For you
And they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
Yes, they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
And they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
Yes, they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
And I would say a prayer but I've forgotten how
These holy words can't save us now
After the burned out rubber fell in love with the pavement
And the dust followed our feet
When we decided to run from the earth
And the blood on our neighbor's streets
Reminded us of our worth
And they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
Yes, they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
We went flying above the hundred and fourth floor
After the tumbling windows called the name of who we did this for
And the smoke blinded our eyes
When we denied to see what we'd done
And the bombs that torched our skin
Counted down from three two one
And they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
Yes, they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
No. We were doing what our fathers told us to
Set our lives on fire to hear, "I'm proud of you."
No. We were doing what our mothers told us to
Cutting out our hearts to be pure for you. For you
And they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
Yes, they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
And they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
Yes, they asked, "Is it justified?"
Do you believe it is justified?
And I would say a prayer but I've forgotten how
These holy words can't save us now
