"Just Justify"
© 2003 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved
(15/03/03)

A young boy on the corner carry a gun,
Selfesteem issue's confrontation enough.
Cops and robbers can't hold their fine line through life,
And now and then homeless folks make a buck.
A young male is "borowing" a station car,
And the greener grass is running for the hills.
Behind the TV screen someone's working hard,
They're popping their heads full of perscribtion pills.
Nail-polish's a cemical perfume can't scare,
If only he was the brush, brushing her hair.

JUST JUSTIFY WHAT I'VE PROVED I CAN DO,
JUST JUSTIFY THE WORDS SPEAKING THE TRUTH,
THE CRIME I DID THE TIME FOR'S LUDACRIS...
JUST JUSTIFY SECONDS I SHY AWAY,
JUST JUSTIFY WHAT I'M WILLING TO PAY,
THE MAN I'VE BEEN MOLDING AIN'T POOR NOR RICH...

An old maid's serving dinner at Jackie's bar,
A woman intact with the synonym fools.
Mobbing floors and dusting tables all night long,
But it's ok because she makes up the rules.
Troubles, problems, it's one big situation,
No body seems to control the kitchen sink.
The dirty dishe's stapled higher each day,
If I am doing 'round fine give me a wink.
She cannot stop the laundry from piling up,
Though she's only away for a few hours.
The task of being at household's difficult,
How she only wished that she had the power.
The transmission of her heart is acting wierd,
scen'ry of Romeo and Juliet's Smeered.

JUST JUSTIFY THE FRUITCAKE YOU PITTY,
JUST JUSTIFY THE JOKES THAT AREN'T WITTY,
THE SET I BUILD FROM YOU DIRECTIONS GONE...
JUST JUSTIFY THE JUNKIE WITH NO HOPE,
JUST JUSTIFY THE NECK RUBBING THE ROBE,
THE HOUSE I BOUGHT STATES IT'S WHERE I BELONG...

Enemies holding on to memories of me.
The war has ended with me as victorious,
the battles I know them like the back of my hand.
But up untill now no one seems to understand,
If the bluse is a wrong match then you change it,
If your home's gone out of style re-arrange it.

JUST JUSTIFY MY REASONS TO BE GOOD,
JUST JUSTIFY WHAT MY HANDS NEVER WOULD,
COLLECT FREEDOM FROM ALL THE OLD PEOPLE...
JUST JUSTIFY TRAGIC LOSS IN ADVANCE,
JUST JUSTIFY TWO DIFFERENT COLOURED PANTS,
TO SWIM FROM HARBOR TO HARBOR'S TOO COLD...

If you got something to say do like everyone else..."Just justify yourself".....
