I Believe In Harvey Dent by Adam WarRock Lyrics
(Sample)
Harvey Dent believes in two things: justice and Gotham City
This is why I believe Harvey Dent and why I asked him [fade out]
[Verse 1]
So listen up Caesar, I came to bury I'm not crazed
The more the merrier that's how Gotham City is built
So listen up parents, children, and congressman:
Here lies Harvey Dent, that's the body society killed
What once was a good man, life flipped a coin
And took his hand corrupting
A role model for little boys
Girls used to speak of his good looks
And the good book taught "do unto others"
As you wish others did it by choice
Crime is simply out of hand
No man could understand the face of justice
No plan in this toxic land
So when your demons take the stand
You take a stand, you turn the other cheek
And show the face that rested in your plan
It's not over he's not dead, he's changing
The world is growing colder
Loose change rearranging all the things we see
And try to push the shadows beneath
But Harvey Dent makes me wanna believe
[Chorus]
And I believe in Harvey Dent
And I believe in America and the dollars we spent
I believe in the system
I believe you're either with them or against them
I believe in this cold steel in my fingertips
And I believe in Harvey Dent and I believe in justice
And all the blood already spent
If you believe then say it with me
Cause this is how we keep the faith here in Gotham City
[Verse 2]
First Obama tells us Bush had fucked up in Afghanistan
What's his plan? Expand our military presence
A great recession hits our shores
So all the assets[?] of Iraq no longer stands
Parents can't afford their rent
So when the housing market collapses
No longer laughing, the faces of these homeless bums
Truly army casting into the shadows
Now reaction spreads the tea party activists protestin'
Death panels and taxes
So Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck
Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow
Fill your set and bicker til you're no longer upset
Just white noise when the hero tells the boys
That "crime doesn't pay" like they fucking got a choice
That's why Harvey Dent makes me believe
That life simply isn't fair
If you cut me then I bleed
If you rob from those who wrong you then you're gonna eat
And you survive man
And that's what life has come to in these streets
[Chorus]
And I believe in Harvey Dent
And I believe in America and the dollars we spent
I believe in the system
I believe you're either with them or against them
I believe in this cold steel in my fingertips
And I believe in Harvey Dent and I believe in justice
And all the blood already spent
If you believe then say it with me
Cause this is how we keep the faith here in Gotham City
[Verse 3]
So don't believe those news reports
That everybody hears
Some villain by the name of Two-Face has reappeared
Flashin' scratch coins and tossing them in the air
Causing fear in the hearts, waving steel in the dark yo
Commissioner Gordon hopin' you ignore them
And go about your day
Sleepin' safely while you're snorin'
"that caped crusader's gonna save you every time
And Harvey lost his mind turned into a life a crime"
That's the story that you want to believe
That life can turn a simple human being
Into a fiend from all the things he's seen
Killers killing kids and politicians will cheat
And brother will kill his brother for a scrap of food to eat
I don't believe in super hero teams
I don't believe in grand villain scheme
Stories on the big screen
And I believe that Two Face doesn't exist
That it's always been Harvey Dent
And I believe in this
[Chorus]
And I believe in Harvey Dent
And I believe in America and the dollars we spent
I believe in the system
I believe you're either with them or against them
I believe in this cold steel in my fingertips
And I believe in Harvey Dent and I believe in justice
And all the blood already spent
If you believe then say it with me
Cause this is how we keep the faith here in Gotham City
And I believe in Harvey Dent
And I believe in Harvey Dent
And I believe in Harvey Dent
What do you believe in?
Harvey Dent believes in two things: justice and Gotham City
This is why I believe Harvey Dent and why I asked him [fade out]
