If we justify war, it is because all peoples always justify the traits of which they find themselves possessed, not because war will bear an objective examination of its merits.

Justify
Babys gone
Said shes movin on
Telling me
I aint comin along
I thought you said you were satisfied
Youve given up on everything we tried for, why?
How can you justify sacrificing our love
Justify
Sacrificing our love
Smoking gun
Hoid it in your hand
You cant deny
Im the victim of your plan
Innocence with a guilty side
I dont understand
Tell me why oh why
How can you justify sacrificing our love
Justify
Sacrificing our love
Lonely hearts finally find a home
Then they part
Like everybody does
Guess the love meant more to me
Go your way
But I cant see... why
How can you justify sacrificing our love
Justify
Sacrificing our love

Jusitfy My Love (Orbit 12" Mix)
I wanna kiss you in Paris
I wanna hold your hand in Rome
I wanna run naked in a rainstorm
Make love in a train cross-country
You put this in me
So now what, so now what?
Chorus:
Wanting, needing, waiting
For you to justify my love
Hoping, praying
For you to justify my love
I want to know you
Not like that
I don't wanna be your mother
I don't wanna be your sister either
I just wanna be your lover
I wanna be your baby
Kiss me, that's right, kiss me
(chorus)
Yearning, burning
For you to justify my love
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
Talk to me -- tell me your dreams
Am I in them?
Tell me your fears
Are you scared?
Tell me your stories
I'm not afraid of who you are
We can fly!
Poor is the man
Whose pleasures depend
On the permission of another
Love me, that's right, love me
I wanna be your baby
(chorus)
I'm open and ready
For you to justify my love
To justify my love
Wanting, to justify
Waiting, to justify my love
Praying, to justify
To justify my love
I'm open, to justify my love

Justify My Love
Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love
I want you to chew my balls
In Paris, Niagara Falls
I want you to lick my toes
Los Angeles, San Francisco
With the fags and the ho's.
Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love
For you to justify my love...
Oh oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh oh.
Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love
Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love

The Guilty One
I was never the one
guilty guilty guilty
of not not loving
the other enough.
You were meant
to be with me
but you are not.
Therefore
you were not
equal to
a great love
or the sacrifices
needed.
Were you too afraid
to commit to love
in a material age
where everything is sold
at market price?
Does your job
justify justify justify
your menial pleasures
or is your existence life
still meaningless
with status but no love?

Straight Out Of Line
Theres no reason, theres no compromise
Change in seasons, living the high life
I dont know you so dont freak on me
I cant control you, youre not my destiny
Straight out of line
I cant find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I dont need a reason, you dont need to lie to me
Ill confess this: youre my tragedy
I laid you to rest just as fast as you turned on me
Gone forever, banished the memories
Displays of pleasure are masked by your misery
Straight out of line
I cant find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I dont need a reason, you dont need to lie to me
Lie to me
Straight out of line
I cant find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I dont need a reason, you dont need to
Dont need to lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me

Delusional Relationship
You were trying to find the bad,
and I was trying to find the good,
I was hoping maybe you were stable,
You said I should…
“Do this to make you happy,
accuse me of this-
to justify your right.
Right because you were guilty of
doing the things you accused me
of doing in the deep of the night.
Right in your delusion of what you
thought I was, but in reality you never
Knew,
and you never will.
For the fantasy of me
is what you really knew.
Be done with this Delusional
Relationship and bury it like a dead corpse,
you can’t dig up a dead relationship
filled with regret and remorse.
The relationship was never really alive,
so why even try to justify?
There was never a chance from the the start,
all your manipulative games kept us apart.
The End.

The Only Beast Out Here Is You
You throw on the floor what you don't need anymore
And toss them like a stone, never mind the broken bones.
Justify the senseless death with a false sense of accomplishment,
You found a way to turn blood gold, murder’s always best served cold
You’re sick, twisted, depraved
With your clever word games,
They’re just like us, but not enough
That’s how you justify the tests
That’s how you justify the deaths
Say they’re all just mindless beasts
But you don’t see the irony
Face it cuz you know it’s true
The only beast out here is you
It’s simplified design, no hidden message in the rhyme
Lead them to the slaughter, spill their blood upon the altar
Take the lives that can’t defend, and break the ones you cannot bend
You found a way to get rich off this, bleed them dry to make a profit
You’re sick, twisted, depraved
With your clever word games,
They’re just like us, but not enough
That’s how you justify the tests
That’s how you justify the deaths
Say they’re all just mindless beasts
But you don’t see the irony
Face it cuz you know it’s true
The only beast out here is you
You think to keep the wolves at bay
With all the clever things you say
Manipulate the public state
By filling up their dinner plates
Murder whets their appetites
Yet they lose no sleep at night
You’re sick, twisted, depraved
With your clever word games,
They’re just like us, but not enough
That’s how you justify the tests
That’s how you justify the deaths
Say they’re all just mindless beasts
But you don’t see the irony
Face it cuz you know it’s true
The only beast out here is you

Approve With Each Nibble As You Taste It
Never try to justify,
The kind of life...
You like!
Feel comfortable and live it.
Never try to justify,
The kind of life...
You like!
Feel comfortable and live it.
What you choose for you and do,
Feel comfortable and live it.
No one but you can be you but you.
And make that choice to do what you choose.
With a taking of a bite out of life to taste.
Savoring it and enjoying this too!
Never try to justify,
The kind of life...
You like!
Feel comfortable and live it.
Never try to justify,
The kind of life...
You like!
Feel comfortable and live it.
What you choose for you to do,
Feel comfortable and live it.
No one but you can truly approve...
With each nibble as you taste it,
Without limits.

Pastel
Another falls in place
You wonder if youre only human
Its blood, dust, and paste
Were held together by a single thread
Must be a reason for us to justify it
But no one will defy it
What is it with this place?
Or is it that Im missing something?
You want to see my face
When I cant even see it for myself
Must be a reason for us to justify it
But no one will defy it
I dont want a game that I dont no how to play
Just go away
And I dont want to know how to play
Cant I make it just go away?
I dont want a game that I dont no how to play
Just go away
And I dont want to know how to play
Cant I make it just go away?
Dont you understand what these problems will demand?
Make it just go away
I dont want a game that I dont know how to play
Just go away
Must be a reason for us to justify it
But no one will defy it

Justify
To add justice,
I did not scream nor cry,
I instead called,
“Irony.”
Yes,
Irony.
The strange noun that bites and slaps when least expected.
So, to justify,
I called Irony.
I would like it to be shown, to the court at least, that I did nothing wrong,
nor nothing right.
I called his name,
when he was gone from sight.
I whispered my wisdom,
to a deaf and blind old fool,
I gave my only love,
To one who would never love at all.
So,
To justify,
I believe I did not lose,
I just didn't win.
That is often the case with irony.

Poets to Come
POETS to come! orators, singers, musicians to come!
Not to-day is to justify me, and answer what I am for;
But you, a new brood, native, athletic, continental, greater than
before known,
Arouse! Arouse--for you must justify me--you must answer.
I myself but write one or two indicative words for the future,
I but advance a moment, only to wheel and hurry back in the darkness.
I am a man who, sauntering along, without fully stopping, turns a
casual look upon you, and then averts his face,
Leaving it to you to prove and define it,
Expecting the main things from you.

Rubberbandman
Shoot, bang, no rhyme [should I know why]
Im in love with you
Shoot back, just a fight [should I justify]
Out of the blue
Im the rubberbandman with the rubberman touch
Out of the blue, love is such
Rubberband man with the rubberband pack
Youre the one, youll get me back on track
Shoot, bang, no rhyme [should I know why]
Im in love with you
Shoot back, just a fight [should I justify]
Out of the blue
Everybody told me what they shouldnt do
I havent got the problem
Havent got the clue
Im doing what Im feeling and Im doing fine
The rubberbandman, I dont mind
Shoot, bang, no rhyme [should I know why]
Im in love with you
Shoot back, just a fight [should I justify]
Out of the blue
I got the rubberband dance
Its chewin the fat
Cause Im the rubberbandman
Out of the can
Hoping when I see you Im back on by
The rubberbandman doin fine
Shoot, bang, no rhyme [should I know why]
Im in love with you
Shoot back, just a fight [should I justify]
Out of the blue
The filthy woman tells me what I shouldnt do
Im jumping in my can, out of the blue
I havent got the problem living in the can
Im doing alright, Im the rubberbandman

I Have Many Questions
What is my reason to I hate peoples?
What is my reason to anger to person?
What is it that is to be seen from thee?
Why is there no compromise?
Why is there no companion
Why am I disliked in your freinds
why am i jealous in your pages,
Should I have to justify my ways?
Or should I just sit here with a daze?
people say we do not have time for this
but how the time passing people do it,
No shame and No fame.

Sociopaths Stand Back
People in the middle,
Enjoy keeping their riddles griddled.
And slapped to sizzle nonstop.
While turning up the temperature...
To see who steams a lot!
Just to justify that feeling to boost.
Nobody adjusted and in a right frame of mind,
Sits to feel reduced,
In a seduction they can find.
Just to feel that boost.
Nobody wants to stay a loose goose cooked.
For other geese to please.
Just to feel that boost.
Nobody carries on their back,
Weighted troubles packed.
To consciously seek a place to bend their knees.
Just to feel that boost.
Nobody chooses to sing the blues,
Because they love the melody.
Just to feel that boost.
Although some may elect to fight...
Instead of leaving alone what is known is right.
Sociopaths stand back.
Nobody expresses those needs you feed.
Just to feel that boost.
And trying to justify,
Why their detached caboose is loose.
