This song just tickles my brain, it also gives me a type of nostalgia in a way? I can’t explain it, but it’s like I’ve heard it before a long time ago even tho I know I didn’t, 0:58 this part specifically

Given this song about Rich and Famous getting away with murder i feel like Lights first intential victim was probably OJ Simpson i mean dude did die of a heart attack lately.

LYRICS!! Where is the justice, when the guilty all go free? Why don’t we lock them up and throw away the key? I see a young man’s anger burning in your eyes. What you see is my impatience with your noble compromise. Show me what’s right about the wrongs that we allow. Real people need to feel protected here and now. This whole damn systems broken, way beyond repair. It’s just law, not law and order, not much good in seldom fair. Laws are made for everyone, we’re treated all the same. Till the lawyers tricks can fix the blame. What about the victims waiting for some justice? How can we turn away and say “That’s just the way things are”? What about the families hiding in their houses, all of them afraid to walk the streets at night with all their doors locked tight. Tell me, where is the justice? If there’s any justice. Your simple arguments have all been made before. The worlds not black and white, the choice not either, or. Perhaps it’s time we drain the colour from within, Till we’re back to seeing black and white, and wrong and right again. Overwrought pronouncements won’t improve the paradigm. Till lawyers cutting deals becomes a crime. But the corporations Make the regulations And hold no one accountable When everything goes wrong, But the rich and famous Get away with murder Every time a high price mouthpiece starts to talk, His client gets to walk. Tell me, where is the justice? If there’s any justice. [Wheres the justice, tell me where?] Where’s the justice? [Tell me where] For all the victims? [Tell me where] Where is the justice? What good is law that can’t punish those who break it? Politicians make their speeches all day long, While judges pushing pencils mostly get it wrong. [Mostly get it wrong] Instead of loopholes for the laws to fall between, Let some good old fashioned payback Grease the wheels of the machine. [Grease the wheels of the machine] Isn’t everybody sick to death of all this stuff? Can’t we all stand up and say “enough”? [Time and stand up, We’ve had enough!] [Justice] [Justice] [Justice] [Nows the time for justice] Listen to the families, Hiding in their houses [Justice] [Justice] All of them afraid to walk the streets at night, With all their locked tight. [Afraid to walk the streets at night, With all their doors locked tight] We must give them their justice. [Where is the justice?] We owe them some justice. [Where is the justice?] Where is the justice?

The most important part of playing Ryuk is chewing the scenery even in a concept album. I'm so glad this Ryuk did his homework

Lawlight song?😮

My God Jeremy Jordan is a freaking legend! His singing is phenomenal 😍

This hits so dam hard in 2024. I Watch German, Us and EU developments/elections and this is precisely how I feel. God dam it.

Lot of pain coulda been avoided if he had just read some Lenin but oh well

Oohhwww they're roomates😊

this is my hamilton

Y'all, Light only has a good point because he's talking about the people who get away with it, and the corporations who are above the law. In the anime, dude was just killing people who were already locked up and paying for their crimes.

ㅅㅂ?

who else is here because of Hazbin Hotel animatics with Lucifer singing this?

Still peak as hell

Honestly to me, out of context this sounds like a song between light and Kira as he starts to get his memories back.

Some texts describe the situation of the current US government. Example: "Where is the justice when the guilty all go free?" and "What good is law that can't punish those who break it?". The case of drugs and pedophilia involving Hunter Biden - NO! The case of crimes on Epstein Island - NO! The case of Boeing malfunctions - NO! The case of the murder of witnesses in the case of Hillary Clinton - NO! The case of secret documents found in Biden's garage - NO! The case of Trump paying for the services of a prostitute - YES! It seems there are double standards in these cases.

Who is here because of recent events?

Does anyone else think Lin definitely took inspiration from this show? “Where You Are” from Moana sounds like it could weave seamlessly in and out of this song. And he uses a similar narration style ending to the closing number of Hamilton, which ends with “Who lives. Who dies. Who tells your story”. Whereas this ends with “We tell the story”.

🗣️the GAME BEEE GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS‼️

As an anime fan This is some badass shit

I want to thank the writers of this masterpiece, the singers (especially Michael Lanning) and whoever runs this channel. When I started studying at the college in 2018, I had a lot of doubts about whether I would be able to do it at all and whether it was worth it. Then, in addition to the great Death Note anime, I also discovered this masterpiece. Somehow, it helped to motivate me and now, in 2024, I graduated with honors and officially became a lawyer. Thanks to all of you guys!

This song is so beautiful. I'm actually in tears rn

(L) Empty your mind of any theories 'Til all the facts are in Start at the end of all your queries To learn where things begin You analyze by working backwards Effects reveal their cause For even perfect crimes have perfect flaws The calculus of a solution, While changing, stays the same The stronger mind and evolution Determine who wins the game I poke and prod to find a weakness Where the bend becomes the break And make the most of Kira's first mistake The game begins the same way I look for patterns on a screen Connecting bits of data Until I find out what they mean The game begins A kilobyte of information And soon a corner's turned Anticipate his adaptation By using all you've learned Some little thing, some minor detail Will draw you in, and then Another one will draw you out again The game begins the same way I look for patterns on a screen Connecting bits of data Until I find out what they mean The game begins the same way The chase is on, the die is cast I sift a thousand pixels Until I chase you down at last... The game begins!

[Light] Time to rethink And begin With a brand new game plan Margin for error is slim [L] He's on the brink He could win I can't use the same plan Time to start thinking like him [Light] What would I do if I got inside his head? [L] Thought like him instead? [Light] Could it be [L] Possibly [Light & L] I'll catch him when [Light & L] I look through his eyes See what he sees And then improvise Until I can learn what puts him at ease I'll walk in his shoes As long as it takes 'Til deep in my bones I'm sure he is One and the same as the me who is playing his game [Light ] What does he do Late at night When the world is sleeping? Does he see pixels, not dreams? [L] Hard to be true Always right All that promise keeping Harder I'm sure than it seems [Light] How would it be if I saw the world like him? [L] Like a synonym? [Light] Bit by bit [L] Wit by wit [Light & L] Catch him I win [Light & L] I'll mimic his will And learn his routines And feel the same thrill Whenever my end is served by his means I'll walk in his shoes As long as it takes 'Til deep in my bones I'm sure he is One and the same as the me who is playing his game [L] Steady I must be ever so careful Don't move until you are ready He will be careful too [Light] Know it Always stay calm and collected Don't lose your cool or you'll blow it Then he will unravel you [Light & L] Get into his head And under his skin The things that he said The food that he likes, the places he's been I'll look through his eyes And see what he sees 'Til I see the forest, not just the trees I'll mimic his will And learn his routines And feel the same thrill and know what it means I'll walk in his shoes As long as it takes 'Til deep in my bones I'm sure I am Winning my game while I'm saying I'm playing his game

[L] Each time I challenge, he responds He takes the bait as if he's taunting me He waves a hundred magic wands And soon a hundred men just cease to be I haven't figured out just how He doesn't kill them with a knife or gun But if you ask me here and now I'm pretty sure that Kira is your son [Light] I wonder, is this guy for real? I wonder, is he who he claims to be? And if he is, then what's the deal? Why would he make a point of telling me? [L] He doesn't rattle easily He's such a calm and cool collected guy And if he kills while he's with me Like it or not, I am his alibi [L and Light] All or nothing, so let's get to it This time's stalemate, but just you wait Clock is ticking, so let's just do it Let's begin, thick or thin, lose or win This is it [Light] His name is obviously a fake So he inoculates himself from me He's waiting for my first mistake So I'll wait also, but more patiently [L] Just like two actors on a stage Go through the motions that we both rehearsed Our little new atomic age Eyeball to eyeball, we'll see who blinks first [L and Light] All or nothing, so let's get to it This time's stalemate, but just you wait Clock is ticking, so let's just do it No taboos, light the fuse, win or lose This is it [Misa] I know you're gonna love my brand new song It's full of private little hidden clues So we can find each other in a crowd And when we do, you know I'm yours to use I feel like we were born for just one thing I know we're gonna be a perfect fit You'll be my heart and I will be your eyes It's me and you forever This is it [L and Light] All or nothing, so let's get to it This time's stalemate, but just you wait Clock is ticking so let's just do it [L] Let's begin [Light] Light the fuse [L] Go all in [Light] Win or lose [L] Lose or win [L and Light] This is it!

i was so sure she was about to sing like IM READY!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!

I came back to this song and hearing it now after seeing what has happened in india recently has made me sympathize with this song more than ever it's very sad how the rich can get away with murder.

Oh how i wish i couldve seen this live

Everyone singing the song: I'm playing his game! Me and my friends when we sing it: I'M PRAYING HE'S GAYYYYYYY!

"Im cheating death with every breath" OMGGG IM GOING FERAL also this really made me think of the fact that L wasn't really a perfectly good guy. Like yeah, he was trying to stop two murderers but damn torturing Misa like that was hella extreme (makes me think back to "the line is quickly blurring between what's right and what is not" and "i don't care who gets hurt now" from a few songs back.) Still love his character tho!

Claudia ahh music

"Kira killed a man who he thought was really me" GOD I LOVE HIS LITTLE LAUGH HERE

There's something about soichiro's voice that's just perfect idk

2024 anyone?

개쩐다..

“Not law and order” My drunk ass- DUN DUN

I've never seen the musical (I came here from Hazbin Hotel) but this song is sooo beautiful! I think Jeremy Jordan has one of the best voices I've ever heard

This is a reminder for our world 💀🥺 We need Light to be our justice system c:

Wait is this the original?

me when i see my best friend fr

🤘

NANI

"that's no better than the bad that good defines" is a nice line because he's telling the truth, just he doesn't care about good but rather justice, it's not him condemning the bad but rather him slandering the side of good as hypocritical

When I saw the name of this song, I originally thought it was going to be Light singing about people are only human and they need a god to help them or something. This is much better.

gay gay lesbian lesbian

Who sings this? It sounds like the lady who sings DOA or Percy’s mom from the lightning thief musical

bro is speakin facts fr
