...and Justice for All Lyrics

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 us

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

What is the Meaning of ...and Justice for All?

In this powerful anthem, Metallica critiques the corruption and hypocrisy within the justice system. The lyrics depict a world where financial influence and power overshadow genuine justice, leading to a society where truth is manipulated for personal gain. The imagery of "Lady Justice" being raped and red tape sealing lips highlights the perversion of fairness and transparency. The song underscores a grim reality: winning at any cost has replaced seeking truth, resulting in profound disillusionment and exploitation. Through aggressive language and stark metaphors, Metallica conveys a deep sense of frustration with systemic inequities that render true justice unattainable.
