ROUGH JUSTICE
[Single Version]
Although it's not majorly different from the album version, it is slightly shorter, so I've created a separate page for each version. This single symbolised the girls intention to get involved in politics, and not be seen as just another 'girl-group'. The single didn't chart well, but they got their message across loud and clear.
LYRICS

(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do) (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do) (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)

The young don�t grow up, well not in this life
Big mouths and money win everytime
Boy beats girl, while the sneaky and snide
Take all your money and take your pride

Innocent people walking by, no time to smile before they die,
Don�t call that justice
Children are starving on the street, another one disappearing every week
Don�t call that justice

King for a day, but their kingdom grows cold
They�ll never grow up but they�re bound to grow old
I remember the pain and humiliation and I�ll show them rough justice
The way that they did

Innocent people walking by, no time to smile before they die
Don�t call that justice
Children are starving on the street, another one disappearing every week
Don�t call that justice
Innocent people walking by, no time to smile before they die
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Don�t call that justice (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Children are starving on the street, another one disappearing every week
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Don�t call that justice (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)

Boy beats girl, while the sneaky and snide
Take all your money and take your pride

Innocent people walking by, no time to smile before they die
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Don�t call that justice (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Children are starving on the street, another one disappearing every week
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Don�t call that justice (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Innocent people walking by, no time to smile before they die
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Don�t call that justice (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Children are starving on the street, another one disappearing every week
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Don�t call that justice (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)

(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Don�t call that justice (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
Don�t call that justice (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do)

This video starts by showing the girls preparing to go on TV. However, instead of going to their sound stage, they interrupt the news instead to convey their message about poverty and injustice. The producers of the news program try to stop them but to no avail.
