Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you told me that it couldn't matter less to you
You turned me down for someone who wouldn't turn a hand for you
There no justice in this world anymore.
There no justice in this world anymore
Sometimes I ask myself what am I livin' for
If wrong can triumph over right
There no justice in this world anymore.
Oh, you turn me down because you knew I loved you so
And you tried to see exactly how far you could go
Well, I thought that you would change your mind
But there's no hope for now I find
There no justice in this world anymore.
There no justice in this world anymore
Sometimes I ask myself what am I livin' for
If wrong can triumph over right
If we are licked before the fight
There no justice in this world anymore
