lyrics

On the horizon

If they’d known what was on the horizon
They would have run a mile
Fat cats licking their paws
Plotting all the while

And they couldn’t admit
Their system was a fail
So much easier for them
To see you put in jail

And it wasn’t just a few of you
But hundreds, we’re counting and more
And the chief executive high priestess
Presided over what she saw

And it didn’t seem to bother her
That you’d done nothing wrong
All she was really interested in
Was laying her hands on a gong

When will justice be served
Some people never get what they deserve

And it’s hard to believe what was happening
As they profiled you by your race
And told you ‘No, you’re the only one’
A lie to your face

And they all knew it was
And they were ruining your lives
But they were protecting the corporation
Programmed to see it survive

When will justice be served
Some people never get what they deserve

As you stand and survey the wreckage
The pain, the uncountable cost
The ignominy of all they did to you
Everything, your lives you lost

And no-one has paid for it
They just say how sorry they are
That doesn’t put a life back together
How did it get this far
How did it get this far
How did it get this far
