Description
I wrote this song years ago prompted by some injustices I had seen on the news that were perpetrated on people unable to defend themselves by people who should know better. The lyrics are actually quite relevant today. Anyway, this has been sitting around for years...at least 15 and I thought I'd try to do something with it. I'm a tinkerer/novice at best and I work almost exclusively with Garageband sounds (and some Korg M1 sounds). With so much going on, I never seem to have the time to make something sound great. Still, I wanted to throw this up against the wall to see your reactions. My singing leaves little to be desired but I tried. For some reason, I try reaching those high registers. Dogs from miles away come and surround my house when I'm recording. Anyway, do your worst.

Lyrics
Beaten in the dead of night
A way to make him see the light
Cut down by a loaded gun
A man they said had tried to run
Cold blood in the light of day
A few men did surely get their way
It's not safe, even at the top
So how're you s'posed to trust a cop
BRIDGE
Blinded by slick talk
Blinded by fear
Blinded by what they only want you to hear
It's out of bounds
It's out of control
Increasing tension
Destroying us all
CHORUS
Will justice be done
What are the rules?
Our fates decided
By bigots and fools
Will justice be done
Or is it time
For man to rise up
And punish this crime
Will Justice be done
Will Justice be done
Will Justice be done
Will justice be done
Struck down by the hand of fate
God why does justice come so late
I can't, for the life of me
Stand by and let this all just be
Whose blood will be spilled today?
Because we let them get away
It's called justice... it's what they teach.
But will they practice what they preach?
BRIDGE
Blinded by slick talk
Blinded by fear
Blinded by what they only want you to hear
It's out of bounds
It's out of control
Increasing tension
Destroying our souls
CHORUS
Will justice be done
What are the rules?
Our fates decided
By bigots and fools
Will justice be done
Or is it time
For man to rise up
And punish this crime
Will Justice be done
Will Justice be done
Will Justice be done
Will justice be done
A way to make him see the light
Cut down by a loaded gun
A man they said had tried to run
Cold blood in the light of day
A few men did surely get their way
It's not safe, even at the top
So how're you s'posed to trust a cop
BRIDGE
Blinded by slick talk
Blinded by fear
Blinded by what they only want you to hear
It's out of bounds
It's out of control
Increasing tension
Destroying us all
CHORUS
Will justice be done
What are the rules?
Our fates decided
By bigots and fools
Will justice be done
Or is it time
For man to rise up
And punish this crime
Will Justice be done
Will Justice be done
Will Justice be done
Will justice be done
Struck down by the hand of fate
God why does justice come so late
I can't, for the life of me
Stand by and let this all just be
Whose blood will be spilled today?
Because we let them get away
It's called justice... it's what they teach.
But will they practice what they preach?
BRIDGE
Blinded by slick talk
Blinded by fear
Blinded by what they only want you to hear
It's out of bounds
It's out of control
Increasing tension
Destroying our souls
CHORUS
Will justice be done
What are the rules?
Our fates decided
By bigots and fools
Will justice be done
Or is it time
For man to rise up
And punish this crime
Will Justice be done
Will Justice be done
Will Justice be done
Will justice be done
