There's No Justice
Injustice's Echo: George Jones' Reflection on Love's Betrayal
Lyrics
Oh, I told you if you walked out on me we were through
Expressing a warning that the relationship would end if the partner walked away.
And you told me that it couldn't matter less to you
Indicating the partner's indifference to the potential breakup.
You turned me down for someone who wouldn't turn a hand for you
Highlighting the partner's choice of someone who wouldn't reciprocate love.
There no justice in this world anymore.
Conveying a general sense of disillusionment, asserting a lack of justice in the world.
There no justice in this world anymore
Reiterating the theme of injustice and questioning the purpose of life.
Sometimes I ask myself what am I livin' for
Reflecting on the meaning and purpose of life, expressing existential doubt.
If wrong can triumph over right
Pondering the possibility of wrong prevailing over right.
If we are licked before a fight
Expressing a sense of defeat even before engaging in a conflict or struggle.
There no justice in this world anymore.
Reiterating the assertion that there is no justice in the world.
Oh, you turn me down because you knew I loved you so
Recalling rejection due to the deep love held for the partner.
And you tried to see exactly how far you could go
Describing the partner's attempt to test the limits of the relationship.
Well, I thought that you would change your mind
Expressing hope that the partner might change their decision.
But there's no hope for now I find
Realizing the absence of hope in the current situation.
There no justice in this world anymore.
Reiterating the theme of injustice and hopelessness in the world.
There no justice in this world anymore
Repeating the idea that there is no justice in the world.
Sometimes I ask myself what am I livin' for
Continuing to question the purpose of life and the prevalence of injustice.
If wrong can triumph over right
Repeating the concern about the potential triumph of wrong over right.
If we are licked before the fight
Expressing a feeling of being defeated even before entering a struggle.
There no justice in this world anymore
Reiterating the overarching theme that there is no justice in the world.
