Flooded with Justice Performer(s): Josh, Rebecca, Paula, Darryl — First Appearance: "Josh and I Go to Los Angeles!" — Genre: Revolution-ish March
Can you hear a trickling sound? That's the janky shower of glory. A drip, drip, drip, drip that will keep you up all night, and then you'll be late for work and you won't be able to focus and you'll come home to a basement that's been flooded...flooded with justice!
— United residents of San Gabriel valley, "Josh and I are Going to Los Angeles!
Flooded with Justice is a song sung by residents of San Gabriel valley who had been united by Rebecca Bunch and her law firm Whitefeather & Associates. Led by West Covina native Josh Chan, they were all participating in a class action law suit. It was against a company clled Greater City Water which had been diverting the surrounding areas water supply to Los Angeles. They gathered in front of the L.A.

The song with lyrics[]
Lyrics:
Can you hear a trickling sound? That's the leaky sink of change. It's a drip, drip, drip, drip That no handyman can fix. For we shall not be ignored Till our honor is restored and your basement is flooded with justice!
Soon the raging waters will crash upon the shore. When we sing of raging waters it's not just a metaphor. What we mean is it's also a water park in San Dimas but that's an aside. It's not what we're marching for.
Can you hear a trickling sound? That's the faulty faucets of truth. It's a drip, drip, drip, drip That will make you go. "What is that?" We shall not be denied Till we restore our pride And we'll all go to Raging Waters!
And we'll ride Dr. Von Dark's
Tunnel of Terror!
Good idea, Baldwin Park!
Yeah!
For we have had enough of Hollywood stealing our water They're probably using it To make party drugs and Oscars. Our precious water shouldn't be funneled to celebrities. No more water for B.J. Novak's ecstasy factory!
B.J. Novak:
What?
Can you hear a trickling sound? That's the janky shower of glory. A drip, drip, drip, drip that will keep you up. all night, and then you'll be late for work and you won't be able to focus and you'll come home to a basement that's been flooded flooded with justice!
Josh:
You ready?
B.J. Novak:
Well, back to the old ecstasy factory.
Excuse me.

Homage[]
The song "Flooded with Justice" and it's reprise are an homage to the Broadway musical "Les Miserables" song "Do you hear the people sing?". In this part of the musical, a group of students are about to launch a rebellion which they preface by singing this anthem.
