- This article is about the song by Bananarama. For the song by The Rolling Stones, see Rough Justice (The Rolling Stones song).
The song is one of several composed by Bananarama at the time which lyrically addressed "serious" topics, in this case societal injustices towards children, poverty, starvation and innocent bystanders who are given "no time to smile before they die". Although the music was upbeat, the heavy lyrical content did not prove to be as successful as their prior single ("Robert De Niro's Waiting"). It peaked at number twenty-three in the UK singles chart. In Australia, the song failed to chart and it was not released as a single in the United States.
"Rough Justice" was remixed slightly from its album version when released as a single, most notably in the track's introduction.
The music video features the girls preparing for an appearance on a show at a TV studio. Their plans change when they spontaneously interrupt the broadcast of a different show in order to get their message out to the public.
