Written By：Elvis Coste

Hang my head and shut my eyes
垂首闭目 黯然神伤
What kind of justice is this
这算什么正义天秤
Fool I was I thought that you fought fire with fire
我曾天真以为以火攻火
Got to me more than just a soul for hire
岂料灵魂早被明码标价
Speaking for myself
扪心自问
I wouldn't take the fame the fees the glory
我不屑那虚名厚禄
For whoring in the practice of the law
耻于在法律外衣下逢场作戏
I make my case stop and stutter
我的辩护词句凝噎
Soul comes unglued from the uppers
灵魂在迷幻中逐渐剥离
Blood is seeping in the hole
鲜血渗入深渊的缝隙
A mother's eye is weeping
一位母亲的泪水在流淌
I see every human kind
我见证世间百态
And still the truth is distant
真相却依然遥不可及
I see every evil men do and desire
目睹人性之恶与贪婪
Got to be more then just a soul for hire
岂能沦为雇佣的傀儡
When it's time to give protection
当守护弱者的时刻来临
To the ones who need it most who are desperate
那些最绝望无助的人们啊
I get distracted from my job
我却偏离了职责的轨道
Streams of ink and piles of paper
墨迹斑驳 文件堆积如山
What are the breaks
何处才是喘息之机
Jump out the window Parole Escape
纵身跃出窗外 假释逃亡
Blood is seeping in the hole
鲜血渗入深渊的缝隙
A mother's eye is weeping
一位母亲的泪水在流淌
Hang my head and shut my eyes
垂首闭目 黯然神伤
I can't see justice twisted
我看不见扭曲的正义
I see every evil men do and desire
目睹人性之恶与贪婪
Got to be more than just a soul for hire
灵魂岂能只为金钱出卖
When it's time to give protection
当守护弱者的时刻来临
To the ones who need it most who are desperate
那些最绝望无助的人们啊
I get distracted from my job
我却偏离了职责的轨道
Streams of ink and piles of paper
墨迹斑驳 文件堆积如山
To hand them over to dopers and kiddie-rapers
最终却交给毒贩和**犯
Corrupt in every twisted grudge
每个扭曲的怨恨中都藏着腐败
And that is just the judge
而这正是法官所为
Hang my head and shut my eyes
垂首闭目 黯然神伤
What kind of justice it this
这是怎样的正义
Hang my head and shut my eyes
垂首闭目 黯然神伤
What kind of justice is this
这算什么正义天秤
Hang my head and shut my eyes
垂首闭目 黯然神伤
What kind of justice is this
这算什么正义天秤
