If You Want Us to Believe in Justice, Justice Better Be Real

 "They want it all, they want it now

They want to get it and they don't care how.........................

Want that Mercedes, that Gulf Stream too

They want to get it, get it from you

They want your life savings and your mother's ring

They'd like to have everything..............................

They want that mansion and they want it full

Of wine and women and political pull

They always have a President or two

That's how they get away with what they do

That's how they do it............................................

They bleed the companies they're supposed to run

Ain't no different than taking your money with a gun

They make it to Jamaica and their wire comes through

They sacrifice a lawyer and they're laughing at you........................

They don't get prosecuted don't even get charged

They're somewhere in the sun belt livin' it large

And the government says we can't prove they did it at all

Besides they've got these underlings ready to take the fall............................

These people that they stole from whose lives they laid to waste

They should have to meet them all face to face

And explain just why their momma didn't teach 'em not to steal

If you want us to believe in justice, justice better be real........................

They just don't give a damn"


They Want It All by Crosby and Nash  2004
