2024 Broadway The Outsiders the Musical - Justice for Tulsa Lyrics
The song is written by Jonathan Clay, Zach Chance and Justin Levine.
COP: Call came in at three-fifteen Bloodiest mess I ever seen A lone boy there, left for dead No one else around
ENSEMBLE: Justice for Tulsa Search this town high and low Must be someone out there who knows
COP: I checked to see if he was still alive His body was cold, eyes open wide His face was twisted, Almost seemed surprised Lying there on the ground
ENSEMBLE: I heard they were from the East Side They wеre prowling around at night Was a nice boy from the Wеst Side And they killed him with a switchblade knife
COP: Put out a call to bring Dallas in That Winston boy with the crooked grin If there's anything he knows I'm gonna get it out of him
DALLAS: I got no clue where they could be And why the hell you asking me? Even if I knew, wouldn't give 'em up to you If you're turning up the heat I dealt with hotter shit than you When there's trouble on the right side of town It's me and all my boys you’re shakin' down Well I got nothing for you Why don't you just get lost Why don't you ask the Socs Why the line got crossed
ENSEMBLE: Justice for Tulsa Do what you have to do
CHERRY: Could this have gone a different way? Can't believe I'm standing here today But you never did the things you should Even so I know your heart was good When it was only you and me alone I saw a side of you I wish they'd known Like a secret you could never share The part of you that truly cared
PAUL: This can't be real, he can't be gone And I don't know how we just carry on This could've happened to anyone But here we are, can't be undone
CHERRY: What have we done?
PAUL: We were only having fun
CHERRY: You were only having fun?
PAUL: We were only having fun Just hanging out, just horsing 'round Doing what we've always done
CHERRY: Bob was drinking, you were drinking too And tell me what's so fun about a fight That's five on two What’d you think that boy was gonna do? He lived his life scared to death after What you put him through
PAUL: Bob went crazy When he saw you with that Greaser kid You held his hand at the concession stand I saw it all, you know just what you did
CHERRY: You guys were loud that night Out looking for a fight The two of us just stayed behind You couldn't stand to leave those boys alone
PAUL & ENSEMBLE: You and Pony holding hands I don't think you understand Bob was not a jealous man Cherry, what you did that night was wrong
PAUL: You should be as mad as me At the senseless tragedy Bob didn't need to die!
PAUL & ENSEMBLE: The Greasers crossed a line We could sit here asking why Or we could send them back a message Take an eye for an eye Anyone from the East Side, If you're prowling around at night We got a message from the West Side, You better run for your life
PAUL: (spoken) Next Saturday night, Pershing Park—all-out war is officially declared!
ENSEMBLE: Justice for Tulsa (If you’re prowling around at night) Where did those Greasers go? (If you’re prowling around at night, Got a message from the West Side) Must be someone out there who knows (You better run for your life) Justice for Tulsa Search this town high and Search this town high and Search this town high and low
