Vusi Mahlasela - Chamber Of Justice lyrics

I have been to a place Where criminals are given awards And politicians slide through revolving doors Where talk of the rule of law Becomes a tool in tug of war And leaders become bidders in the stock exchange At the expense of the poor I've been to a place where they send people to the moon While others become prophets of doom A place where every omen warns Of the coming counter-storm But still the gluttons gorge, dull and swinish-eyed Ignore the rising tide I have seen selfishness blind and ignorant And greediness become the pa**ion of crime Humanity! Humanity! The truth is still to be challenged By all who seek justice I have been to a place Where the golden calf rules And the poor pay more While the rich have it all Where truth is scourged And honesty purged And silence rules behind every door Foundations crumble And in the distance, I hear rumbling The fall of Rome Humanity! Humanity! The truth is still to be challenged By all who seek justice
