LYRICS
It’s water under the bridge
A forest fire coming over the ridge
Then, upon second glance
The all-in-all will balance

Chorus
Why don’t we hang it out to dry?
Go ahead give it our best try
Come on, hang it out to dry
So we can all feel high

Let the bygones be bye-gone
Situation win-win’s won
When given a second chance
The all-in-all will balance

Chorus

LYRICS
Can you take a look
Help me get a grip
Do I have a big fat lip?

Chorus
Been insulted… been assaulted
Victim of Lady Justice
No mate for Goddess Maat
Isis ain’t in this thesis
“If some god has been holding the balance of Dike….”
Imbalance they strike

The Man comes
Knocks you down
Logic runs
Down the drain

Fat Cat’s rats
Mow you down
While the clown
Lost his brain

Chorus

Lady Justice Blindfolded with the Scales
Lady Justice Blindfolded with the Scales

The song is about the justice system. Lady Justice can be traced back to Goddesses Maat, Isis and Dike. The quote is about Goddess Dike.

The personification of justice balancing the scales of truth and fairness dates back to the Goddess Maat, and later Isis, of ancient Egypt. The Hellenic deities Themis and Dike were later goddesses of justice. Themis was the embodiment of divine order, law, and custom, in her aspect as the personification of the divine rightness of law. However, a more direct connection is to Themis’ daughter Dike, who was portrayed carrying scales

“If some god had been holding level the balance of Dike” is a surviving fragment of Bacchylides’s poetry. Ancient Rome adopted the image of a female goddess of justice, which it called Justitia. Since Roman times, Justitia has frequently been depicted carrying scales and a sword, and wearing a blindfold.

LYRICS
I’m coming at you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming at you with repentance

Sure, someday you’ll pay
But, it doesn’t have to be my way
I’m more than happy

The future’s your own destiny
It’s not up to me
Choose your own destiny

I’m coming at you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming at you with repentance

There’s no need to be defensive
This is all meant for our own good
If we would have just done what we could
Then we wouldn’t be in the dilemma
A little more Dalai Lama
A little less crusade
Would bring the aid

I’m coming after you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming after you with repentance

Every life comes to an end
Will your soul ascend…
On Judgement Day
When justice comes your way

I’m coming after you
There’s not much you can do
I’m diligent
Not violent
Gotta get the repentance through
