Justice Dont Be Slow
Steppenwolf
Author’s Note: A band that never shied away from mixing politics with their music. Inspired by the Watergate scandal; the instrumental section includes quotes from Nixon’s first Watergate speech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhxMwUfkX0Q [Intro] Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 [Verse 1] I’m sorry to hear ’bout your problems it came as a schock to us all You know that we have always read there’s no way that you’d ever fall Well I grant you it looks good on paper but lately you’ve dropped out of sight And we feel it’s gone quite far enough don’t you think that it’s time now to fight fight fight fight [Chorus] Justice don’t be slow everyone’s here but you You haven’t got far to go we’re all waiting for you [Instrumental] Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 Asus4 [Verse 2] Now they make your life worth leaving when they covered your face with their dung Then they laughed while you lay floundering just hoping you’d swallow your tongue Their hatchetmen bungled your mansion and throttled your sons in the night Their foot soldiers pummeled your daughter God dammit your vengeance is right right right [Chorus] Justice don’t be slow everyone’s here but you You haven’t got far to go we’re all waiting for you [Instrumental] e|---------3-----5-|---------3-----5---| B|---------3-----5-|---------3-----5---| G|-----0---4-----6-|-----0---4-----6---| D|-0-2---2-5--6--7-|-0-2---2-5--6--7---| A|---------5--6--7-|---------5--6--7---| E|---------3--4--5-|---------3--4--5---| X5 e|---------3-----5-|---------0-----0---| B|---------3-----5-|---------0-----0---| G|-----0---4-----6-|-----0---1-----1---| D|-0-2---2-5--6--7-|-0-2---2-2-----2---| A|---------5--6--7-|---------2-----2---| E|---------3--4--5-|---------0-----0---| [Verse 3] Well now that you’ve caught your tormentor he still won’t admit to his sin He claims he was busily sleeping while his henchmen were doing you in But all of this high-ranking jesters have turned into sniveling louts They’re pleading for mercy and freedom I say throw all those hooligans out out out [Chorus] Justice don’t be slow everyone’s here but you You haven’t got far to go we’re all waiting for you [Chorus] Justice don’t be slow everyone’s here but you You haven’t got far to go we’re all waiting for you [Chorus] Justice don’t be slow everyone’s here but you You haven’t got far to go we’re all waiting for you [Chorus] Justice don’t be slow everyone’s here but you You haven’t got far to go we’re all waiting for you
