Lyrics Original Translation Bilingual
Come on, Coalhouse. It doesn't matter We'll see justice, Sarah And plenty of men who will stand up and give us our due Well, you can't sign another complaint, Mr. Walker The volunteer firemen are not municipal employees And therefore do not come under the jurisdiction of The city, I'm sorry I'm still tracing your first complaint, Mr. Walker Are you sure you filed it with this office? Oh! Let me look again! Justice, Sarah This is America (I'm ashamed that our community is represented in His mind by that bunch of toughs) (Let me talk to my lawyer.) (That's all it will be, talk! Talk! TALK!) The law's the law, the law's been broken Why should I turn the other cheek What about justice? The bureaucrats and bunglers The attornies who smile My advice? Recover your car and forget the whole matter! The clerks and the officials And the forms that were filed This to get a place on the court calendar This for change of venue So many roads to justice around the bend! I want justice for our people, so bad I can taste it! Bur I won't waste my time on a mere case of Vandalism when I have real injustices to take to the courts! And every road a new dead end I will not move from where I'm standing Til what's mine is restored to me I'm not some fool, I'm not their nigger I will have what's fairly owed me And til then I will not marry! We understand Mr. Walker's outrage We share it, all decent people do! (He said "Wheels are turning for us, girl") But I'm sure there's some way to settle this affair Without calling off the wedding (He said "Times are starting to roll") To be so close to the happiness you both Deserve and have it come to this! Well I know he'll get where he wants to 'Cause he's got that fire in his soul Said, "There's justice, Sarah And plenty of men who will stand up And give us our due! Well, you'll have your due, Coalhouse! Yes, you'll have your due! ย
