Justice of the Peace Songtext
von Iron Maiden

Have you heard on the news?
Another let-off madman
Another screw on the loose
Is it the judge or the bad man?

What′s the matter these days?
No one has the courage to put them away
Nobody has any faith
'Cause there′s a breakdown of justice and order

Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace
Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace


When I remember back the memories of yesterday
With all the friends and all the times when people were carefree
And walking down the street when everyone knew everyone
And all the houses' doors were open, no one had to care, those days are gone

Those days are gone
Those days are gone

Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace
Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace

I long for the times when you could wander down the street unharmed
When people didn't have much money but didn′t seem to care
It must be the cynic in me, but I don′t really like things now
The violence, the attitudes' aggression that you see every day
Sick society looks the other way, yeah!
