…and justice for all
metallica
Metallica’s 1988 album, “And Justice for All” contained lyrical themes of political and legal injustice projected through the prisms of censorship, war, and nuclear brinkmanship.
The songs covered issues such as, concerns about the environmental plight of the planet (“Blackened”), corruption (“And Justice for All”), blacklisting and discrimination (“The Shortest Straw”), and freedom of speech and civil liberties (“Eye of the Beholder”). “One” was unofficially nicknamed an “antiwar anthem” because of the lyrics which portray the suffering of a wounded soldier.
