sha-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la
there's no justice in this world

it's full of gimme-gimme people
and takey-takey people
sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

and if you want some justice in this world
remember not to take it out of other people
sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

worse than death is:
life in a place where no-one can see your worth
you can claw your way up
but the blood that you leave won't be washed in the surf

it's true we don't need much to be happy
but it's hard to build on quicksilver sand
and let's face it, for many of us happy 
means bigger than the sun and fatter than the land
and we're singing now:

[chorus: repeated]

worse than death is:
knowing the name of the storm that will erase you works
but if you were somebody's storm
then being remembered will feel like a curse

it's a lot of hard work to be just decent
and so I run away from those who believe themselves good
in this world of convenient reasons
how often the right thing to do is what no-one else would?
(what no sane person would)
and we're singing sha-la-la

[chorus: repeated]

justice, justice in this world (it just is, just is)
in this world, in this world!

sha-la-la-la-la!
