[00:54 to 01:19]
we laugh hard when you talk of quality
harder when you mention equality
diamonds you earn are turning to stones
but we suits are busy on our phones
you have no power, you got to learn
your future is mine and not your concern
get back, continue, what you used to do
they need a hero and it is not you
[01:20 to 01:32] (can this be doubled?)
our politics is way over your heads
we are the bugs and infesting your beds
your blood is our food, it does taste good
we will enslave you, i'm not being rude
i did not force my daggers down your throat
elections are fair, you went to vote
it's not a task to keep you misguided
it's easier to keep you divided
[01:33 to 01:57]
i made promises i won't deliver
i don't worry, you are a believer
all i will do is i'll get an excuse
but you, dumb citizen, pay back your dues
i grow hungrier as my power grows
how dare you question the tax we impose?
when we make policies, you shall obey
it's democracy, but you have no say
[01:58 to 02:10] (can this be doubled?)
conflicts can't be handled with a flower
there's mud on your mind, you need a shower
no one here wants peace for it does not pay
we want our pockets flowing every day
protest on the street like another rag
one stab, you are a body in a bag
none shall cry for you, burden on our toes
that is how we deal with real heroes
[02:11 to 02:36]
shoot down the dogs
how dare they come out!
march on the streets
shut down their mouths
we give you permission
crush them all down
flush out the insects
from under the ground
