Now i'm a little bit older I'm expected to accept all the things that I can't change I'm supposed to stand aside While the fairness you can't hide is paraded before my face I won't acquiesce take second best I'm never satisfied Cos there's a fire inside won't be denied And i'm still burning see you'll never put the spark out in my soul still burning and injustice builds a bonfire in my core Still burning.
If i turn my back on all the honesty you lack Would that make me more mature? By pretending to be blind, and accepting all your lies I'd be giving in for sure I won't acquiesce or take second best I'm never satisfied cos there's a fire inside won't be denied And i'm still burning you'll never put the spark out in my soul Still burning and injustice build a bonfire at my core Still burning
We like to think we live in a fair & justice society Yet we can still lock a man away for 19 years Having denied him the use of witness statements That might have cleared his name and we call that justice?
