John Henry died with a sense of pride And a man made dedication I cant seem to find that motivation He came on the scene, beat a steam machine That threatened his generation I cant seem to find that motivation Justice, Justice Everybody wants it Sell all the livestock, kill all the runts It comes and goes like a travelin show But you cant afford the ticket I spend my days reading terrible plays About Lincoln in Illinois But I cant quite connect with that good ol boy And you heard the truth about John Wilkes Booth Getting tangled in his own sad ploy I cant quite connect with that good ol boy Justice, Justice Everybody wants it Hitting pop flys when it should have been a bunt It comes and goes like a traveling show But you cant afford the ticket Ive lived for years with a thousand fears About the police down the street They wont ever catch me in that seat If I could go for days in a lawless haze Itd make my life complete But they wont ever catch me in that seat Justice, Justice Everybody wants it Shut down the jail till the bars are rusted It comes and goes like a traveling show But you cant afford the ticket
