KICK THE CHAIR

Hello, guys!!

Today, August 11th, is the Lawyer's Day here in Brazil. I did celebrated because I'm officially a lawyer. Here is my license I got last friday:


But honestly, nowadays there are many scandals involving lawyers. Many of them do their job not only defending criminal people, but they also take advantage of some prerogatives and help them giving cell phones inside jails, sharing informations about criminal organizations...

Well, these episodes only remind me lyrics from a song called "Kick the Chair", from Megadeth (that's right: that heavy metal band). Here it is:


"Dawn breaks evenly today
On the truth and the lie
All rise, court's in session
We're hanging someone high

Justice means nothing today

Now that the courts are for sale
Pick a crime from the menu; pick a sentence and defend you

And pay up the down payment called bail
The system's for sale


Kick the chair, the rope's tight

Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out

Friend or foe, I gotta hang em dead
Or they'll come back around
Kick it!

The court's wrong when it keeps track
Of victories and defeats

The press that never rest just waits
For somebody's soul they can eat

Justice means nothing today

Now that the jury's for sale

Guilty or not, the verdict's a lie
You're going to jail
The system has failed

Kick the chair, the rope's tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out

Friend or foe, ya gotta hang em dead

Or they'll come back"

Well, I hope the lyrics are wrong... I'll keep on fighting, but honestly I don't know if many think like me...
