[00:21.627]A man stands up before is god and country
[00:26.807]Raises his right hand and takes an oath
[00:31.819]Swears he has acted in the line of duty
[00:36.814]And he more than anyone wants to tell the truth
[00:41.758]But there is a need to keep some things a secret
[00:47.076]Some weapons shipments some private wars
[00:51.929]In the future democracy will be defended
[00:57.153]Behind closed doors
[01:07.550]Now the men of congress who convene to determine
[01:12.812]If covert war is a business or a crime
[01:17.697]Are the same men who routinely give their permission
[01:22.564]For the shedding of blood in security's name
[01:27.683]And there is a need to keep some things a secret
[01:32.917]The names of some countries the terms of some deals
[01:37.899]And above all the sound of the screams of the innocent
[01:43.266]Beneath our wheels
[01:47.811]Does the word justice mean anything to you
[01:52.932]Are the features of a lie beginning to come through
[02:18.907]In the streets of America the children are buried
[02:23.961]Caught in an avalanche of weapons and drugs
[02:28.640]They live and they die in the bowels of a business
[02:33.613]That's disguised as a war between the crips and the bloods
[02:38.551]And there is a need to keep some things a secret
[02:44.024]The CIA deals protecting the source
[02:48.899]And the government policies directly connecting
[02:54.091]The drugs and our wars
[02:58.895]Does the word justice mean anything to you
[03:03.857]As the battlefield comes home and democracy falls through
[03:15.156]I am waiting for the time to come
[03:20.111]When the word will be real for everyone
[03:25.188]And not just a word but a thing that can be done
[03:32.934]Justice must be one
[03:46.321]Justice
