In the halls of justice, a cold wind blows,
The high court's hammer strikes a cruelest pose.
They say a homeless man has no right to rest,
But our Torah teaches to welcome every guest.
Oh, justice, justice, where have you gone?
Compassion's faded like the morning dawn.
They've traded mercy, mercy for a prison cell,
But we won't be silent, we will rise up and yell.
Deuteronomy calls us to open our hand,
To share with the needy across this great land.
The Talmud tells us charity is key,
But they've turned their backs on those in need.
Oh, justice, justice, where have you gone?
Compassion's faded like the morning dawn.
They've traded mercy for a prison cell,
But we won't be silent, we will rise up and yell.
(Bridge)
From gentrified blocks to the golden dome,
The rich get richer, the poor have no home.
They fill the prisons, line their pockets deep,
While the cries of justice echo as we weep.
Oh, justice, justice, where have you gone?
Compassion's faded like the morning dawn.
They've traded mercy for a prison cell,
But we won't be silent, we will rise up and yell
