Absoluthly Justified
Absoluthly Justified
You're not proud of your family and kin
You're not proud of where your origins begin
If it all came down to enough guilt and pressure
Certainly you'd sell out your friends
Be a good go along
And swallow the whole party line
Of La Raza And Azatlan
Let them soften up your mind
They're acting insulted in grocery stores
They're trying to do set ups to take you down
Any body who's got an honest pair of eyes
Sees it happening all over town
They're angry and self righteous
They're discourteous and rude
They're dismissive and opportunistic
And in a kind of get even kinda mood
They're challenging and sneaky
They'll bear false witness against you
They feel absoluthly justified
To lie distort and manipulate what's true
They stand around in isles
And if you ask them to move aside
They go completely off the deep end
Cause somehow you've offended their pride
They'll work with their wives and friends
To get you to over react to take their bait
They've been fed enough propaganda
They’re pushin hard their date with fate
But most of the time if you stay calm
And keep them a step away
You can keep it from boiling over
But it sure screws up a day
But one of these days one of these idiots
Is going to reach out and put hands on me
And he's going to find the final option
Of a man who's decided he will act free
And as usual I'll feel all alone
Most everybody will just mutely stand there
And I could ask who's on my side
But that'll be obvious in the mostly blank stares
There seems a lot of judgment going round
That kind of takes on the lop sided tone
That somehow it's got to be both parties fault
Or most assuredly mine....................alone
Like there is no such thing as right and wrong
Like who do you love and who do you trust
But hey I'm getting pretty good at seein
Who spells it justice and who spells it
Just us
And I ain't taken it................anymore
Whether it's the gas stations in the street
In my country and or
In my grocery store
