chumbawamba - criminal injustice (just us mix) lyrics

justice, injustice
justice, injustice
drip feed democracy and collective amnesia
a c+cktail of beatings, imprisonment and poverty
bitter medicine no longer disguised as a spoonful of sugar
the state, with it’s tory psychopaths and labour apologists, are coming clean
the bullies and the cowards are ganging up on us
[there is no justice!]
the carrot’s been ditched, the stick works best
[there is no justice!]
disagree, and discover that there’s someone always on hand to beat some sense into you
[there is no justice!]
[there is no justice!]
this is justice
[there is no justice! just us! there is no justice! just us! there is no justice! just us! there is no justice! just us!]

some would say that justice stings without regard to right or wrong
some, like to guildford four and the birmingham six, spent years locked up discovering a justice that was racist, blind, unable to admit its mistakes
[open your eyes!]
some, like the thousands of homeless people begging outside britain’s trains stations and sleeping rough on the streets, find their justice in a society which criminalises its poor
[open your eyes!]
some, like joy gardener, died from justice administered by cops trying to deport her using the force of law and the force of violence
[open your eyes!]
some, who grow up loving people of their own s+x, find that what they thought was natural was punishable in the court
a bigoted, conservative, hateful justice
some, like the police, the servants of the bullies and cowards who pay their salaries, finds that justice never falls on the shoulders of those who wear the uniform
justice, injustice
justice, injustice
justice is getting greedy, inventing new crimes to punish
and now, justice wants to openly break up the party
[there is no justice!]
wants to smash the homes of squatters
[there is no justice!]
smash the bones of strikers
[there is no justice!]
justice is issuing the cops with bigger batons, tougher laws
[there is no justice!]
taking away your right to silence, and replacing it with a need to scream
[there is no justice!]
[there is no justice! just us!]
justice is no longer pretending to be just
[just us! there is no justice!]
justice, injustice
[just us! there is no justice!]
justice, criminal injustice
[just us! there is no justice!]
there is no justice; just us
[just us! there is no justice! just us! there is no justice! just us!]
