Justice is blind
or so it used to seem
Fact is, however,
that justice is a has-been

Right is might
no longer applies
All the old values
are in demise

The media all
has brought this out
Commercialism's shout
is what it's all about

Half truths, no truths,
lies are in
Just watch TV
and see what I mean

Seeing is believing
OH YEAH?
To see the truth
would be really rare

The news is slanted
like a camera's angle
Disinformation abounds
we're left to dangle

Radio and TV
tell you half the story
Newspapers are no better
just more gory

Candidates for, and in, office
are liars and scoundrels
Their efforts against us
are absolutely boundless

In our courts the innocent are quick
to lose their liberty
For justice it seems
is only for the guilty

The perpetrators have
endless rights
While the victim is lost
in his own plight

Justice for all
aha, right on
From where I sit
it ends at the front lawn.
