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 passion 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
