The Word Justice (LP版) - Jackson Browne[00:00:00]

A man stands up before is god and country[00:00:21]

Raises his right hand and takes an oath[00:00:26]

Swears he has acted in the line of duty[00:00:31]

And he more than anyone wants to tell the truth[00:00:36]

But there is a need to keep some things a secret[00:00:41]

Some weapons shipments some private wars[00:00:46]

In the future democracy will be defended[00:00:51]

Behind closed doors[00:00:56]

Now the men of congress who convene to determine[00:01:07]

If covert war is a business or a crime[00:01:12]

Are the same men who routinely give their permission[00:01:17]

For the shedding of blood in security's name[00:01:22]

And there is a need to keep some things a secret[00:01:27]

The names of some countries the terms of some deals[00:01:32]

And above all the sound of the screams of the innocent[00:01:37]

Beneath our wheels[00:01:43]

Does the word justice mean anything to you[00:01:47]

Are the features of a lie beginning to come through[00:01:52]

In the streets of America the children are buried[00:02:18]

Caught in an avalanche of weapons and drugs[00:02:23]

They live and they die in the bowels of a business[00:02:28]

That's disguised as a war between the crips and the bloods[00:02:33]

And there is a need to keep some things a secret[00:02:38]

The C I A deals protecting the source[00:02:43]

And the government policies directly connecting[00:02:48]

The drugs and our wars[00:02:53]

Does the word justice mean anything to you[00:02:58]

As the battlefield comes home and democracy falls through[00:03:03]

I am waiting for the time to come[00:03:14]

When the word will be real for everyone[00:03:19]

And not just a word but a thing that can[00:03:24]

Be done[00:03:28]

Justice must be one[00:03:32]

Justice[00:03:40]

Justice[00:03:45]

Justice[00:03:55]

Justice[00:04:01]

Justice[00:04:06]
