[Chorus]
Why does justice go so slow
Slow justice slowly go
Poor means stop and rich means go
Slow justice slowly goes

They say a woman's work is never done and do you wonder why
They make half as much for doubletime on the bye and bye
I ain't no big shot doctor ain't no big shot doc- tors kid
But I can tell you that my mother never lived in Adams rib

Chorus
Why does justice go so slow
Slow justice slowly go
Poor means stop and rich means go
Slow justice slowly goes

They killed a black minister in Memphis town, a black prince in Audubon Hall
They used different guns in Capetown but the same bullet shot them all
South Africa's a ghetto someday its gonna break like glass
One world with different colors you know there ain't no second class

Chorus
Why does justice go so slow
Slow justice slowly go
Poor means stop and rich means go
Slow justice slowly goes

They will bomb a row of houses
Try to take down the family farm
Shut down all the unions
With the help of the National Gaurd

Someday those in congress
with have to swallow a bitter pill
They believe Clarence Thomas
I believe Anita Hill

Repeat Chorus
