Justice
Rev Theory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want justice I want you overthrown
I want justice
I want to stand alone

So take all you can from an open hand
The hope of the dying
To save your disease
You're an empty breed
Your love of this lifetime

So you're somebody who brags about their innocence
While playing on the ignorant storm
Now I'm just here to criticize the lies, the lies, the lies

I want justice I want you overthrown

I want courage I want to stand alone
I want your arrogance and I want your pain
I want your everything and I want your head

So cry if you feel
That the tears you shed will make you feel better
See I'm just critical of living like a criminal
While you become a royalty hiding
I wonder how you'll justify the lies, the lies, the lies

I want justice I want you overthrown
I want courage I want to stand alone
I want your arrogance and I want your pain
I want your everything and I want your head

So bury all the evidence
Disguise yourself plead innocent
One penalty, one consequence is sure
Your jury they will recognize the lies, the lies, the lies, the lies

I want justice I want you overthrown
I want courage
I want to stand alone
I want your arrogance and I want your pain
I want your everything and I want your head

I want justice I want you overthrown
I want courage I want to stand alone
I want your arrogance and I want your pain
I want your everything and I want you dead





I want justice I want justice
Give me justice and I want you dead

Such an underrated song.

mkimmer99

Agreed with Wescart92. These guys work hard and they deserve to get some recognition for their great work.

Peter Howe

This song is better than a shot of adrenaline!!

nick mayweather

This song tells a story about the injustices and the lies we are subjected to everyday. I first liked this band when I heard Randy Orton's Voices theme.

AJ36sXe

This song is like a tribute to everyone fighting to make the world a better place to live in and rebelling for the people.

rmpunk99

For being very popular, they are pretty underrated in some ways.. Along with Shinedown and Avenged Sevenfold, they're one of the only hard rock bands with their own unique style without sounding the same, like a lot of bands do.

Shari H.

Amazing video by an amazing group of guys!! Back to the hardcore "Truth" days and I'm loving it!! They opened up with this song in September.....wait until you get to see them perform this in concert!!

Wesley Carter

I hope this album gets them huge! They deserve it!!!

Anthony

The part when the guys sing in the back always gives me goose bumps!!!!

Carma Dragula Nefarious Queen

I love Rev Theory and this song still over the yrs that have past...I really want to see them live again
