Rough Justice
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The gates have opened,
now I'm a free man / My time is over,
I need a new plan / But I've had no loving for a year and a day / My lady's waiting,
got a taste for her wine / She's wearing money,
but none of it's mine / She's been surviving while I've been wasting away / Back in my room,
it ain't quite the same / You can't hide it,
I'm onto your game / Rough Justice,
there's no disguise / Losing my lover / And I can tell by the look in your eyes / Rough Justice,
I've had my share / Looking for cover / I've done my time,
but I'm still running scared / Rough Justice,
coming down on me / Hand on my shoulder / Long arm of the law never setting me free / Rough Justice,
I bide my time / Back in action,
riding the crest / Putting all that I learned to the test / No complications,
taking it day by day / Freedom of movement,
freedom of choice / Free to be right back here with the boys / Ready to listen,
but you've got nothing to say / Back in my room,
it ain't quite the same / Just can't help it I'm part of your game
