Where is the Justice

Where is the Justice? is the first song in Death Note: The Musical.

Lyrics
(not including ensemble lyrics)

[Light] Where is the justice when the guilty all go free Why don't we lock them up And throw away the key

[Light's Teacher] I see a young man's anger Burning in your eyes

[Light] What you see is my impatience With your noble compromise

[Light] Show me what’s right about the wrongs that we allow Real people need to feel protected here and now This whole damn system’s broken way beyond repair It's just law Not law and order Not much good and seldom fair

[Light's Classmate #1] Laws were made for everyone We're treated all the same

[Light] Till a lawyer's tricks convicts the blame

[Light] Let the corporations make the regulations And all go uncountable when everything goes wrong But the rich and famous get away with murder Every time a high-priced mouth piece starts to talk His client gets to walk Tell me where is the justice If there’s any justice

[Light] Where is the justice For all the victims Where is the justice What good is law that can’t punish those who break it

[Student #2] Politicians make their speeches all day long While judges pushing pencils mostly get it wrong

[Student #3] Instead of loopholes for the laws to fall between That’s a good old fashioned payback Grease the wheels of a machine

[Light] Isn't everybody sick to death of all this stuff Can't we all stand up and say enough

[Light] Listen to the families hiding in their houses All of them afraid to walk the street at night With all the doors locked tight

[Light] We must give them their justice We owe them some justice

[All] Where is the justice?
