Lyrics
Verse 1
High up officials detectives of the force knew earlier on while a girl was going to court,
About a corrupt drug smuggling ring with in the airport, and on the same day as she flew overseas,
But these so called honourable men just let the evidence blow in the breeze.
Solo 1
Verse 2
Now this girl writes her book,telling about her injustice case,she is clinging to her innocense full of hope and faith,
But our government turns to deaf ears,saying "oh! it's just a proceed of crime,
Well I say what kind of injustice have we got going on hear,do they think we are blind ?
Do they think we can not see the dirt on there hands ?
Or do they think they have the rights to play with strings like puppeteers ?
Chorus 1
There is an aussie girl doing time in a land where are bombers believe they are martyrs of crimes,
Injustice takes away destination paradise.
Verse 3
If this girl was guilty she would deserve to fall,but her prosecution case appears full of flaws,
Nothing conclusively justifies closing iron doors.
While powerful men in well dressed suits stuffed around playing the goose,
Foreign hierarchy where considering given her the noose,
Tag 1 Injustice takes away destination paradise.
Chorus 2 As Chorus 1
Verse 4
TV news papers and the magazines played their higher volume sales games,
Why they ought not to be ashamed for wrongfully running down there nations own ?
Why they be so prejudice to the chance of a girl coming home ?
But then again for twisting the truth the media is well known
Tag 2 Injustice takes away destination paradise.
Chorus 3 As Chorus 1
Instrumental:
Bridge 1 If you're the kind that feels unsure, why not sit alone and let the dingo call, your memories of an injustice case from years before
Tag 3 Injustice takes away destination paradise.
Chorus 4 As Chorus 1
