What's been done in the name of Jesus?
What's been done in the name of Buddha?
What's been done in the name of Islam?

What's been done in the name of man?
What's been done in the name of liberation?
And in the name of civilization?

And in the name of race?
And in the name of peace?
Everybody

Loves to see
Justice done
On somebody else

Can you tell me how much bleeding
It takes to fill a word with meaning?
And how much, how much death

It takes to give a slogan breath?
And how much, how much, how much flame
Gives light to a name

For the hollow darkness
In which nations dress?
Everybody

Loves to see
Justice done
On somebody else


Everybody's seen the things they've seen
We all have to live with what we've been

When they say charity begins at home
They're not just talking about a toilet and a telephone
Got to search the silence of the soul's wild places

For a voice that can cross the spaces
These definitions that we love create --
These names for heaven, hero, tribe and state

Everybody
Loves to see
Justice done

On somebody else
