Now i'm a little bit older
|
I'm expected to accept all the things that I can't change
|
I'm supposed to stand aside
|
While the fairness you can't hide is paraded before my face
|
I won't acquiesce take second best I'm never satisfied
|
Cos there's a fire inside won't be denied
|
And i'm still burning see you'll never put the spark out in my soul
|
still burning and injustice builds a bonfire in my core
|
Still burning.
|
|
If i turn my back on all the honesty you lack
|
Would that make me more mature?
|
By pretending to be blind, and accepting all your lies
|
I'd be giving in for sure
|
I won't acquiesce or take second best
|
I'm never satisfied cos there's a fire inside won't be denied
|
And i'm still burning you'll never put the spark out in my soul
|
Still burning and injustice build a bonfire at my core
|
Still burning
|
|
We like to think we live in a fair & justice society
|
Yet we can still lock a man away for 19 years
|
Having denied him the use of witness statements
|
That might have cleared his name
|
and we call that justice?
|
|
Not in my eyes
|
