Justice over Morality

I know I wished him dead 
But to hope for justice is not a crime 

And for you to bank on my morality 
to tell you right from wrong, 
Is like betting your life against the odds
When you have none 

And everyone heard you crying at prom; 
What a pity party 
And I’m not sorry you feel sorry 
cause the prom dress doesn’t fall far from the tree
You killed them all with evil glares
And dumped their bodies at the quarry 
And I’m not sorry you’re not sorry 
For you to bank on my morality  
Tells me even your narcissisms getting sloppy
And you betting things you don’t have 
Tells me you’re a carbon copy 
The prom dress doesn’t fall far from the tree  

And I remember all the things I said I hope happens to him
You should know by now 
I choose justice over morality every time 
Just because you feel sorry doesn’t mean I do
Wanting to see fear in his eyes 
is called justice, not a crime
