Robinson, Tom - The Mighty Sword Of Justice Lyrics
My daddy did his articles in 1954
When he began soliciting the work stuck in his craw
Enforcing for the bourgeoisie he very quickly saw
There's one law for the rich and another one for the poor
The Shredder lives in luxury his evil deeds have bought
But Doreen Lawrence had to wait for 18 years and more
There's one law for the rich and another one for the poor
The mighty sword of Justice stands high above us all
All citizens stand equal before her mighty laws
But even mighty Justice has one almighty flaw
There's one law for the rich and another one for the poor
Our leader meet in secret behind a thick blue line
They infiltrated Occupy and crippled them with fine
There's one law for the 1%, and another for the 99
The mighty sword of Justice stands high above us all
All citizens stand equal before her mighty laws
But even mighty Justice has one almighty flaw
There's one law for the rich and another one for the poor
Now Justice wears a coronet, but Justice is a whore
She puts out for rich gentlemen who love to pay her court
And kicks away the crutches from beggars at her door
There's one law for the rich and another one for the poor
The mighty sword of Justice stands high above us all
All citizens stand equal before her mighty laws
But even mighty Justice has one almighty flaw
There's one law for the rich and another one for the poor

Robinson, Tom The Mighty Sword Of Justice Comments
Just learned about Tom Robinson Band doing my dissertation research into punk and Rock Against Racism. Some really amazing history there from an army of true patriots. o7
Now this is a song we could all burn the FBI/MI5 headquarters to.
As I once said to you Tom, "I don't think that you are capable of writing a bad song". This is one of your best. Jolly sounding, very catchy, but with a very hard-hitting (and sadly, very true) message. Keep up the great work. If you ever want a saxophonist...
Love very true song Tom, album Very Good too. Check it out. Saw Tom at Wickham Festival and 1865 Club Southampton this year still going strong. 2 absolutely brilliant shows crowd was buzzing what a True Pro.
Reminds me of a song I heard at yesterday's Comrades of the Keg gathering.
Bloody Brilliant!
The time for peace with the 1% is done.
Brilliant song......love the message...
Fantastic song Tom you still have it. Takes me back to seeing you in the 70s at Middlesbrough's Rock garden and town hall and doesn't Billy Bragg look like Jeremy Corbyn!
John Teasdale.
Bloody brilliant <3
Just heard this foir the first time, Tom. What a great song!
Love this. Keep fighting the good fight!
Superb! Sadly true.
Tom Robinson doing what he does best - making us aware of injustice with sharp lyrics and a rollicking chorus. Thanks Tom!

Yup, Tom always tells it exactly as it really is.
Brilliant
At last Lizzie! You've found a new National anthem! Get it done missus!
excellent! Enjoyed it!
