Until Justice Is Real lyrics

Ain't on your TV, ain't on your phone

You want the truth, you got to find it on your own

It may not be that easy to see

The truth will cost you in the land of the free

It's a good question to be asking yourself:

What is the good life, what is wealth?

What is the future I'm trying to see?

What does that future need from me?

Time rolling away

Time like a river, time like a train

Time like a fuse, burning shorter every day

Maybe you knew it when you were young

Not that much distance between you and the sun

But now you're wiser and you're afraid

You see the stakes, and the mistakes that have been made

It's a good question to be asking yourself:

What is well-being, what is health?

What is illusion and what is true?

What is my purpose - what can I do?

Time rolling away

Time like a river, time like a train

Time like a fuse, burning shorter every day

Ain't no directions, there ain't no map

Ain't no instructions, and you know there ain't no app

You want power? You'll need help

Look to each other and you find it in yourself

It's a good question to be asking right now:

What'll you put up with - what'll you allow?

What is the color, the color of change?

What is the reason these times are so strange?

What is democracy? What is the deal?

What would it look like? How would it feel?

Putting your shoulder to the wheel

Keeping it turning until justice is real

Time rolling away

Time like a river, time like a train

Time like a fuse, burning shorter every day

What is democracy? What is the deal?

What would it look like? How would it feel?

Putting your shoulder to the wheel

And staying with it until justice

Until justice is real
