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.

I spoke to God today and she said that she's ashamed
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
Arms wide open
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
I heard from God today and she sounded just like me
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
Arms wide open
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
I'm not defending
Downward descending
Falling further and further away
Getting closer every day
I'm getting closer every day
To the end, to the end, the end of the end
I'm getting closer every day
Arms wide open
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
