 I pulled up behind a Cadillac, we were waiting for the light

 And I took a look at his license plate, it said "JUST ICE"

 Is justice just ice? Governed by greed and lust?
  +5
  +5
 Just the strong doing what they can and the weak suffering what they must?
 And  the gas leaks,  and the oil spills
 
  +5
 And sex sells everything, sex kills
 
  +5
 Whoa sex kills
 Doctor's pills give you brand new ills and the bills bury you like an
 avalanche
 Lawyers haven't been this popular since Robespierre slaughtered half of
 France
 And Indian chiefs with their old beliefs know, the balance is undone,
 crazy ions
 You can feel it out in traffic, everyone hates everyone
 All these jackoffs at the office, the rapist in the pool
 Oh and the tragedies in the nurseries, little kids packin' guns to school
 The ulcerated ozone, these tumors of the skin
 This hostile sun beatin down on this massive mess we're in
 Sex kills
 Oh sex kills
 Sex kills
