Lyrics

Your criminal eyes, that see straight through
We criminalise, you're kind of voodoo
Made me sell my soul for the easy life
Sell my mother, trade in my wife

Rough justice - alright
Rough justice - on the streets tonight
Rough justice - we're the chosen few
If you want to scream, if you want to fight
Better take it to the man in the big house
In white

It's rough justice
Your bleeding heart got a hold on me
Your criminal heart won't let me be
For finer things I didn't feel the need
When I'm dealing you'd better watch my speed, yeah
Get rough

Rough justice - alright
Rough justice - on the streets tonight
Rough justice - we're the chosen few
Rough justice - somebody loosened my screws
Vigilante man of the neighbourhood
Well I ain't like Doris Day and I ain't no Robin Hood
Ah, ha

It's rough justice
Your criminal eyes - don't cut no ice
We criminalise - don't take no outside advice
It's a real cruel life when you have to lose it
It's a heavy knife when you have to use it, yeah

It's rough justice
It's rough justice
It's rough justice
It's rough justice
