...And Justice for All Lyrics
...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL (1988)

(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

Halls of Justice Painted Green
Money Talking
Power Wolves Beset Your Door
Hear Them Stalking
Soon You'll Please Their Appetite
They Devour
Hammer of Justice Crushes You
Overpower

The Ultimate in Vanity
Exploiting Their Supremacy
I Can't Believe the Things You Say
I Can't Believe
I Can't Believe the Price You Pay
Nothing Can Save You

Justice Is Lost
Justice Is Raped
Justice Is Gone
Pulling Your Strings
Justice Is Done
Seeking No Truth
Winning Is All
Find it So Grim
..........So True
..........So Real

Apathy Their Stepping Stone
So Unfeeling
Hidden Deep Animosity
So Deceiving
Through Your Eyes Their Light Burns
Hoping to Find
Inquisition Sinking You
With Prying Minds

The Ultimate in Vanity
Exploiting Their Supremacy
I Can't Believe the Things You Say
I Can't Believe
I Can't Believe the Price You Pay
Nothing Can Save You

Justice Is Lost
Justice Is Raped
Justice Is Gone
Pulling Your Strings
Justice Is Done
Seeking No Truth
Winning Is All
Find it So Grim
..........So True
..........So Real

Lady Justice Has Been Raped
Truth Assassin
Rolls of Red Tape Seal Your Lips
Now You're Done in
Their Money Tips Her Scales Again
Make Your Deal
Just What Is Truth? I Cannot Tell
Cannot Feel

The Ultimate in Vanity
Exploiting Their Supremacy
I Can't Believe the Things You Say
I Can't Believe
I Can't Believe the Price We Pay
Nothing Can Save You

Justice Is Lost
Justice Is Raped
Justice Is Gone
Pulling Your Strings
Justice Is Done
Seeking No Truth
Winning Is All
Find it So Grim
..........So True
..........So Real
Seeking No Truth
Winning Is All
Find it So Grim
..........So True
..........So Real

Very observent.

More specifically, it contends that the rich are above the law. They need only hire high-priced attorneys to get away with doing whatever they want. Money is the ultimate defense in the American "justice" system.

Like Jigokusabre said it is about money over justice. The system is way too easily affected by money and wealth that you can basically get away with anything if you have the money. Strange considering that Metallica has spent quite some time in the court lately in the strugle against Napster. And oh guess what. Metallica are rich!

It is about corrupt justice in which the money becomes more important than the truth

Exactly, this song's meaning is, "If you do the crime, you do the time, unless you have a shitload of money"
Metallica has the best ways of pointing out America's faults, THROUGH BITCHIN GUITAR SOLO'S AND SCREAMING LYRICS! ROCK ON METALLICA! *HEAD BANGS*

Personally this is my favorite song. It is extremely long and compelling. The thought is deep and has great meaning. The guitars and drum beats go wonderful together. Needs a bit of bass, but it is still wonderful. I love how there are so many transitions throughout the song. Metallica kicks ass!

I love the guitar work on this album, especially this song. If anyone ever says to you Metallica sucks, you pull this song out for them, and shove it up their ass.

Jigkusabre definitely said it best. The song can be seen as a kind of 'warning' to people to not always trust the government to not be corrupt. Besides all that, the anger in James' voice is definitely heard, and makes that song so much better. The marathon length of the song also makes you miss old-school Metallica.

Song meaning: Obvious...... Back when I heard this in 1988-89, it really wasn't one of my favs, but since has grown on me and I can now really appreciate the song for it's music and complex structure whereas before I just really liked the guitars and True hard-hitting message!!!

There are 144 references to justice in the Bible. eg:

Deuteronomy 16:19
Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. Follow justice and justice alone.

Old stuff: Good / New Stuff: I would rather fuck a box of razor blades than listen to it. Metallica if you read this, retire, your done. Please just sit on your ass in your mansions and die of an overdose. Thank You, A former fan

the new stuff is average...poor even and it kills me that they had to try and 'keep up with the times' but hey, 4 albums of pure musical gold (everything pre-black album) is enough to keep me listening to metallica every single day.bring back fleming rasmussen to help produce da musik bob rock sux cock.
