A Protest Song
Where we shined a light
It must have burned your eyes
Then you tossed out gas and toasted mine
When you drove right through that human wall
Tell me, what was the price of your soul
This isn't what we meant by Justice Is Blind
It's live, no way to pause or rewind
Why are bricks worth more than human life
The world is watching you
Everywhere you look in this country's the same
Where tens are keeping millions in chains
Face down in the street, we're dying in vain
This can't be Justice
Your privatised prisons and shopping malls
Fill your pockets, oppress and cull
When we tear them down and burn them all
Can you keep control
Where we shined a light
It must have burned your eyes
Then you tossed out gas and toasted mine
When you drove right through that human wall
Tell me, what was the price of your soul
This isn't what we meant by Justice Is Blind
It's live, no way to pause or rewind
Why are bricks worth more than human life
The world is watching you
You say law and order and order silence
Nothing can come of chaos and violence
Well, when you treat us like animals
How the fuck should we act
Where we shined a light
It must have burned your eyes
Then you tossed out gas and toasted mine
When you drove right through that human wall
Tell me, what was the price of your soul
This isn't what we meant by Justice Is Blind
It's live, no way to pause or rewind
Why are bricks worth more than human life
The world is watching you
It must have burned your eyes
Then you tossed out gas and toasted mine
When you drove right through that human wall
Tell me, what was the price of your soul
This isn't what we meant by Justice Is Blind
It's live, no way to pause or rewind
Why are bricks worth more than human life
The world is watching you
Everywhere you look in this country's the same
Where tens are keeping millions in chains
Face down in the street, we're dying in vain
This can't be Justice
Your privatised prisons and shopping malls
Fill your pockets, oppress and cull
When we tear them down and burn them all
Can you keep control
Where we shined a light
It must have burned your eyes
Then you tossed out gas and toasted mine
When you drove right through that human wall
Tell me, what was the price of your soul
This isn't what we meant by Justice Is Blind
It's live, no way to pause or rewind
Why are bricks worth more than human life
The world is watching you
You say law and order and order silence
Nothing can come of chaos and violence
Well, when you treat us like animals
How the fuck should we act
Where we shined a light
It must have burned your eyes
Then you tossed out gas and toasted mine
When you drove right through that human wall
Tell me, what was the price of your soul
This isn't what we meant by Justice Is Blind
It's live, no way to pause or rewind
Why are bricks worth more than human life
The world is watching you
