Blind Justice Lyrics
Burn, Burn, Burn the paper screamed out loud
Die, Die, Die, sang the voices in the crowd
Lock him up and throw him in a cell
He didn't really do it and you know full well
So, burn, burn, burn the papers screamed out loud
Die, Die, Die sang the voices in the crowd
[Chorus:]
And when it was over where did you go
To look at the photos of a dead hero
He was a victim of inhuman revenge
He was a scapegoat for political ends
And no one knows if he did it or not
They never thought of that when they tightend the knot
Burn, burn, burn the papers screamed out loud
Die, die, die sang the voices in the crowd
Lock him up and throw him in a cell
He didn't really do it and you know full well
He didn't do it, He didn't do it
He wasn't there but you don't really care
song is about a dutch tourist who was given death penalty in the usa for raping a girl. after he died it turned out he was innocent and it was actually a policeman who raped the girl.
Excellent song. It's pretty obvious what it's about, but I'm not sure who exactly this was written for. I'm fairly certain that this was some kind of high profile court case in which the defendant was railroaded and presumed to be innocent by the general public, probably in England. Holla!
