I am singin' in a rain
I am singin' in a rain
What a glorious feelin'
And I am happy again

Well, he searched through his love like a thief on the run
He searched through his face to see the guilt water run
But he's fresh out of tears and nobody has come
And justice has got to be done

Oh moon in the city stay open and clear
For his vision ain't good and his mind's disappeared
Get along mother nature, they spat at your son
So justice has got to be done

And beauty is lying alone in the park
The friend has gone bowling in the alleys so dark
Where's her knight in white Armour who rides a chrome Ford
Justice would seem to be bored
Justice would seem to be bored

A knife full of life penetrated the bait
While he thinks 'o the sister and the mother that he hates
And he thinks he'll get off 'cos he's sick, rich, and stoned
Justice was made to be honed
And justice was made to be honed

And his lawyer is smiling one hell of a smile
'N he's lying all the lies of the lies in exile
While she's dying of grief, he's defending his brief
And justice would seem to be cheap
And justice would seem to be cheap

Well I've searched through the falling and I searched through the failed
I've searched through the jury, the judge and the jailed
Sleeping beauty is dead, no use pricking her thumb
Justice has got to be done
Yeah, justice has got to be done

Justice, just is
Justice, just is
Justice, just is
Not
