The Right Side of justice/ The Wrong Side of the Law
Verse
Sometimes trouble comes to people
Committing crimes for a good cause.
The pick the right side of Justice
But it’s the wrong side of the law.
Pre chorus
It’s been said, the laws the law
But it isn’t always fair.
It’s written in black and white
But has no heart to care.
Chorus
Sometimes the right side of justice
Is the wrong side of the law.
Verse
I read she feared he’d kill her.
He gave her Bruises, broke her bones.
He came home in a drunken rage.
She shot him dead and dialed the phone.
Pre chorus
It’s been said, the laws the law
But it isn’t always fair.
It’s written in black and white
But has no heart to care.
Chorus
Sometimes the right side of justice
Is the wrong side of the law.
Bridge
She’d called the cops before.
It fell upon deaf ears.
Before you condemn her.
Try living with her fear.
Pre chorus
It’s been said, the laws the law
But it isn’t always fair.
It’s written in black and white
But has no heart to care.
Chorus
Sometimes the right side of justice
Is the wrong side of the law.

These lyrics remind me of a FFDP song "Wrong Side of Heaven." It's a different subject matter to yours, but has a similar contrast between what's legal and what's just.
What have I become.
What have I done
I spoke to the devil today and he swears he's not to blame
And I understood 'cause I feel the same
I stand alone
I'm no hero and I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell
The wrong side of heaven and the righteous side,
The righteous side of hell
What have I done and who have I become
I saw the devil today and he looked a lot like me
I looked away, I turned away
I stand alone
I'm no hero and I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell
The wrong side of heaven and the righteous side,
The righteous side of hell
Downward descending
Falling further and further away
Getting closer every day
To the end, to the end, the end of the end
I'm getting closer every day
I stand alone
I'm no hero
And I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell
I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell
The wrong side of heaven and the righteous side,
Righteous side of hell
