>Please, please tell me what there is in this song that is not true
because it seems way too vivid and so on the mark.>

Victor, I was not refering to the whole song when I used the word "untrue".
She's saying lots of truthful things in it (but that doesn't necessarily make a
memorable song, does it?) I was only stating that the line "Is justice just
ice?" was poor and that it ruined the whole song for me. As for the
untruthfulness I alluded to (again, only in that line), I think it resides in
the lazy simplification of a very complex matter: reducing justice to just ice.
Sure she's asking a question, but to me it sounds like an affirmation in that
context, and a simplistic affirmation at that. It's just my interpretation.
