WRITING ON THE WALL

Hey Teacher Just what the hell were they supposed to learn?
Hey Preacher Just why the hell are they supposed to burn?
'Cause when you look into their eyes
and then they stare and wonder why
Will you ever read what's right between the lines

You see the reason that they're writing on the wall
You denied them their resistance and they're ready for a fall
You know that Justice is their reason
'Cause their reason is their law
You can hide it but you can't fight it The writing on the wall

Hey Brother Do you know what you had no right to steal
Hey Lover The scars you left are not the kind that ever heals
'Cause you will sit and question why
Their accusations you'll deny
You will never know what's Right...between their eyes

You see the reason that they're writing on the wall
You denied them their resistance and they're ready for a fall
You know that Justice is their reason
'Cause their reason is their law
You can hide it but you can't fight it The writing on the wall

Hey Teacher Just what the hell were they supposed to learn?
Hey Preacher Just why the hell are they supposed to burn?
'Cause when you look into their eyes
and then they stare and wonder why
You will never know what's Right ...between their eyes

You see the reason that they're writing on the wall
You denied them their resistance and they're ready for a fall
You know that Justice is their reason
'Cause their reason is their law
You can hide it but you can't fight it The writing on the wall
