[Silence]
[Instrumental, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Organ, Synth]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Driving Garage-Rock Guitar, Deep Bass, Punchy Drums, Hammond Organ and Pulsing Analog Synth]
[Spoken Vocal]
It’s a must…
(Find a way)
Not someday.
(Justice or bust)
[Verse 1]
We bent the frame
We pushed too far
Forgot how fragile
Systems are
Took what worked
And took some more
Till the warning
Reached the door
[Refrain]
It’s a must
(Find our way back to robust)
It’s a must
(Making justice just)
[Chorus]
It’s a must!
(Kick of the dust)
Find our way back
To robust
It’s a must!
(Forego lust!)
Make the future
More just
(… for sure)
[Verse 2]
Justice isn’t
Taking more
Justice isn’t
Blood and gore
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Melodic Blues-Rock Lead With Wah-Wah, Hammond Organ, Synth Arpeggios and Driving Bass]
[Bridge]
Robust!
(Essence of resilience)
Justice!
(Forget vengeance)
[Rap Vocal Break]
It’s a must
Not a threat
It’s a must
Not a regret
Change the signal
Send it out to all
Put the power
In your hand
(… to understand)
Break the cycle
Break the spell
(Make ill well)
[Breakdown]
[Music Drops to Bass, Acoustic Guitar and Sparse Piano]
It’s a must…
(Pick up the slack)
Find our way back…
To robust.
[Whispered]
Making…
Justice…
Just.
[Final Refrain]
It’s a must
(Find our way back to robust)
It’s a must
(Making justice just)
[Final Chorus]
It’s a must!
(It’s a must!)
Just…
(Justice!)
It’s a must!
(It’s a must!)
Find our way
Back to robust
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Full Band Crescendo, Electric Guitar and Hammond Organ Over Driving Bass and Drums; Synth Pulse Continues Underneath]
Robust…
Just…
Justice…
[Spoken, fading]
It’s not enough
to survive.
We must…
Thrive.
