The Clash - midnight log

사람들은 악과의 거래를 통해 대가를 치르며, 그 과정에서 자신도 모르게 부조리에 연루되어 간다
친구의 불행을 목격하고 그로 인해 고뇌하며, 사회의 부패와 정의의 모호성을 이야기한다
결국 복잡한 법과 범죄의 현실 속에서 진정한 정의를 찾으려는 갈망을 드러낸다

Working for the devil, you'll have to pay his tax
That means going to see him down among the racks
You don't believe in him, but he can wait for you
You do his work so fine he'll remember you
He'll remember you
Worried for my friend as he shows me round the flat
Where I don't want to find him, his lips and eyelids black
He don't believe my speech that lines can and should be drawn
Like if he had a shotgun the barrels would be sawn
The barrels would be sawn
Swallowed by the river, swollen by the rains
That leaking old computer of fingerprints and names
Swimming in the river that floods the neighborhood
I would call to you but it would do no good
But it would do no good
Voting for the law that's the general occupation
First comes the public safety, second comes the nation
You won't believe me now but there's been some illumination
The wisest cops have realized they fucked the operation
They fff...
Cooking up the books a respected occupation
The anchor and foundation of multi-corporations
They don't believe in crime, they don't know that it exists
But to understand what's right and wrong, the lawyers work in shifts
The lawyers work in shifts
