What's Fairness Got to Do with It (Adapted from "What's Love Got to Do with It" by Tina Turner, reimagined to address fairness and hypocrisy in politics) You must understand That the scales of justice can feel so rough It’s not just a dream It’s the truth we chase when their words aren’t enough They preach of right, they swear it’s fair But their actions show they just don’t care Behind the smiles, the double talk Hypocrisy’s the path they walk What’s fairness got to do with it? What’s fairness but a word they twist and shout? What’s fairness got to do with it? Who needs the truth when their lies are sold out? They vow to serve, to make things right But their promises fade in the dead of night It’s all a show, a grand charade While fairness falls to their masquerade You see their masks, their righteous claims Pointing fingers, shifting blames They cry for justice, loud and shrill But bend the rules to fit their will What’s fairness got to do with it? What’s fairness but a hope drowned in their spin? What’s fairness got to do with it? Who needs a voice when the hypocrites always win? Oh, it’s a tangled web they weave When their words and deeds just don’t agree It’s not enough to trust their plea When fairness fights hypocrisy What’s fairness got to do with it? What’s fairness but a fight we can’t ignore? What’s fairness got to do with it? It’s the heart of truth we’re all reaching for.
