Justice (Ascap) |
| You met a smooth-talking stranger |
| Had Cupid on his arm |
| His words went down like fine red wine |
| And he won you with his charms |
| You loved him and trusted him |
| Believed every word he said |
| But he lied and he deceived you |
| Now someone else is in your bed |
| He left you for another |
| He betrayed you with a kiss |
| But God says in the end |
| Just give me justice! |
| (Whoa-oh, justice) |
| Last night I turned on my TV |
| And a preacher said to me |
| He said, «Just send me a $ 100 bill |
| God will bless you ten times, you see!» |
| Some equate money with holiness |
| But, my friend, that is a lie |
| One man claimed God held him ransom |
| If he didn’t have enough, he’d die! |
| But my life does not consist |
| Of all the things which I possess |
| Do you hear God’s call to faithfulness |
| And not to success? |
| Ah, give me justice! |
| (Whoa-oh, justice) |
| It’s time for justice! |
| They say the church has been silent |
| She belongs in politics |
| So we turned our eyes to Hollywood |
| And we found a president |
| Who said he was one of us |
| That his life was hid in Jesus' scars |
| But it kind of makes you wonder |
| When his wife consults the stars |
| But God laughs at kings and princes |
| And all their foolishness |
| And the cross waves higher than the flag |
| And they best remember this |
| (God loves justice!) |
| Ah, He love justice! |
| (God loves justice!) |
| My Lord, He loves, He wants |
| (God loves justice!) |
| (God loves justice!) |
| Look through your stained-glass windows |
| Sitting right outside your church |
| There’s a poor man living on the corner |
| Not a penny in his purse |
| His clothes are torn and tattered |
| Got no shoes upon his feet |
| Have you shared with him your bread and wine |
| Or left him on the street |
| To care for the widow and orphan |
| Pure religion is this |
| When you’ve done it to the least of them |
| There is justice! |
| Justice! |
| See how the faithful cry |
| Has become an adulteress |
| Her heart is full of worldly ways |
| Instead of righteousness |
| «When you raise your hands in prayer |
| I will hide my eyes from you |
| I find no pleasure in your offerings |
| When your heart has been untrue |
| Take your evil deeds |
| Out of my sight! |
| Stop doing what is wrong |
| And do what is right!" |
| Ah, listen to the word of the Lord |
| Do not rebel or resist |
| For if you harden your heart, you’ll learn |
| Ah, there is justice! |
| All I want is justice, yeah! |
