  • Missionary zeal
    Mercenary eyes
    The world puts its
    Whole foot down
    On the little guy
    And grinds him on down
    Back to the dust from whence he came
    Someday there's gonna be justice
    Will it be today?

    The dark is too hungry
    Nothing's ever quite enough
    So throw both arms
    Round the whole world
    And the ones you love
    Give them everything you have
    From what cannot be repaid
    Someday there's gonna be justice
    Will it be today?

    We who cannot get it right
    We who try with all our might
    To somehow push a mountain up a hill
    We who are not deities
    We who speak in blasphemies
    We whose time has not yet come but will

    I've seen a whole lot I remember
    Things that I cannot forget
    And if the world is getting kinder
    I haven't noticed yet
    And if we're gonna make it
    Things are gonna have to change
    Someday there's gonna be justice
    Will it be today? Writer/s: Joshua Ritter
