Where is the justice

         B
When the guilty all go free

D#m
Why don't we lock them up

    B
And throw away the key

D#m                       B
I see a young man's anger burning in your eyes

C#
What you see is my impatience

          D#m
With your noble compromise

D#m
Show me what's right about

    B
The wrongs that we allow

D#m
Real people need to feel

   B
Protected here and now

Not much good and seldom fair

Laws are made for everyone

      D#m
We're treated all the same

What about the victims

Waiting for some justice?

How can we turn away

Hiding in their houses

             F#                  B
All of them afraid to walk the street at night

C#                 A#m
With all their doors locked tight

                      D#m
Tell me, where is the justice?

B              D#m
If there’s any justice

D#m                       B
Your simple arguments have all been made before (Oh oh)

C#
The world's not black and white

          D#m
The choice not either, or

D#m                       B
Perhaps it's time we drain the color from within

C#
Till we're back to seeing black and white

          D#m
And wrong and right again

Till lawyers cutting deals becomes a crime;

             D#m
Let the corporations

             C#m
Make the regulations

    F#          B
And hold no one accountable

     C#              A#
When everything goes wrong

                  D#m
Let the rich and famous

        C#
Get away with murder

             F#
Every time a high-priced

            B
Mouth-piece starts to talk

C#                 A#m
His client gets to walk

                      D#m
