"Until Justice Is Real" lyrics

"Until Justice Is Real"

Ain't on your TV, ain't on your phone
You want the truth you got to find it on your own
It may not be that easy to see
The truth will cost you in the land of the free

It's a good question to be asking yourself
What is the good life, what is wealth?
What is the future I'm trying to see?
What does that future need from me?

Time rolling away
Time like a river, time like a train
Time like a fuse burning shorter every day

Maybe you knew it when you were young
Not that much distance between you and the sun
But now you're wiser and you're afraid
You see the stakes, and the mistakes that have been made

It's a good question to be asking yourself
What is well being, what is health?
What is illusion and what is true?
What is my purpose, what can I do?

Time rolling away
Time like a river, time like a train
Time like a fuse burning shorter every day

Ain't no directions, there ain't no map
Ain't no instructions, you know there ain't no app
You want power?
You'll need help
Look to each other and you'll find it in yourself

It's a good question to be asking right now
What'll you put up with, what'll you allow?
What is the color, the color of change?
What is the reason these times are so strange?
What is democracy?
What is the deal?
What would it look like?
How would it feel?
Putting your shoulder to the wheel
Keeping it turning until justice is real

Time rolling away
Time like a river, time like a train
Time like a fuse burning shorter every day

What is democracy?
What is the deal?
What would it look like?
How would it feel?
Putting your shoulder to the wheel
And staying with it until justice
Until justice is real
