Justice - Bruce Cockburn

    hat's been done in the name of Jesus
    What's been done in the name of Buddha
    What's been done in the name of Islam
    What's been done in the name of man
    What's been done in the name of liberation
    And in the name of civilization
    And in the name of race
    And in the name of peace!
         everybody
         loves to see
         justice done
         on somebody else

    Can you tell me how much bleeding
    It takes to fill a word with meaning
    And how much, how much death
    It takes to gave a slogan breath
    And how much, how much, how much flame
    Gives light to a name
    For the hollow darkness
    In which nations dress?
         everybody
         loves to see
         justice done
         on somebody else

    Everybody's seen the things they've seen
    We all have to live with what we've been
    When they say charity begins at home
    They're not just talking about a toilet and a telephone
    Got to search the silence of the soul's wild places
    For a voice that can cross the spaces
    These definitions that we love create --
    These names for heaven, hero, tribe and state
         everybody
         loves to see
         justice done
         on somebody else
