Have you heard on the news, another let off madman
  Another screw on the loose, is it the judge or the badman
  What's the matter these days? No one has the courage to put them away
  Nobody has any faith, cause there's a breakdown of justice and order
  
  Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace
  Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace
  
  When I remember back the memories of yesterday
  With all the friends and all the times when people were carefree
  And walking down the street when everyone knew everyone
  And all the houses doors were open, no had to care those days are gone
  Those days are gone, those days are gone
  
  Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace
  Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace
  
  I long for the times when you could wander down the street unharmed
  When people didn't have much money but didn't seem to care
  It must be the cynic in me but I don't really like things now
  The violence, the attitudes, aggression that you see everyday
  A sick society looks the other way
