And Justice For All Lyrics on KOvideo

The lyrics clearly deal with corruption in the Justice System (e.g. bribery);

"Halls of justice painted green
Money talking..."

power of the judges over citizens and how truly frightening it is;

"Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you
Overpower"

about how the wealthy and judges take advantage of this power;

"Exploiting their supremacy..."

and about the overall exploitation ("rape") of the American Justice System, about how there is justice no more and how untruth has risen from the ashes of honest justice

"Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done."

The song closes with music with a sort of "scary" tone and puts an emphasis on how what the song is dealing with is true, sadly (the wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee part of the song)-

"Find it so grim, so true, so real".
