Justice Don't Be Slow
Unveiling Injustice: Steppenwolf's Poignant Plea for Swift Redemption
Lyrics
I'm sorry to hear 'bout your problems
I express sympathy for your troubles.
It came as a chock to us all
It was a surprise and a shock to everyone.
You know that we have always read
We have always believed in your resilience.
There's no way that you'd ever fall
There's no way you would experience a downfall.
Well, I grant you, it looks good on paper
Although it appears promising in theory.
But lately you've dropped out of sight
Lately, you've become less visible.
And we feel it's gone quite far enough
We think the situation has gone far enough.
Don't you think that it's time now to light?
Isn't it time to take action now?
Justice, don't be slow
A plea for justice to be swift.
Everyone's here but you
Everyone is present except you.
You haven't got far to go
You don't have much distance to cover.
Now they make your life worth leaving
Your life becomes meaningful again.
When they covered your face with their dung
They disgraced you by covering your face with filth.
Then they laughed while you lay floundering
They laughed while you struggled.
Just hoping you'd swallow your tongue
Hoping you'd be silenced.
Their hatchetmen bungled your mansion
They ruined your home through incompetence.
And throttled your sons in the night
They harmed your sons in the darkness.
Their foot soldiers pummeled your daughter
They assaulted your daughter.
God dammit, your vengeance is right.
An expression of justified anger and the need for revenge.
Well, now that you've caught your tormentor
Now that you've captured the one who tormented you.
He still won't admit to his sin.
He refuses to acknowledge his wrongdoing.
He claims he was busily sleeping
He claims innocence while his accomplices acted.
While his henchmen were doing you in
A sarcastic remark about his alibi.
But all of this high-ranking jesters
The powerful individuals involved are now weakened.
Have turned into sniveling louts
They are now begging for leniency.
They're pleading for mercy and freedom
Pleading for mercy and release.
I say throw all those hooligans out!
An urging to expel those troublemakers.
