Keep the power
I saw a crying, one-legged man with
no tongue lying in a dungeon
There's big-bellied children who starve,
and they look in wonder at a new government that
only cares about
keeping the power
And the helpless mothers,
with the deepest wrinkles,
thinking about nothing
No sign of hope,
there will be twisted leaders that will only care about
Keeping the power
I heard the blessings of priests,
Saw the unknown soldier's touching glance,
and tears drop from his eyes
I saw through the promises,
found a world of violence,
Where is then the tenderness in dead fathers at the front
While people listen to the nation's chief,
this trustworthy president,
aware of his duty,
disguising the truth,
he will only cares about
Keeping the power
While children try surviving drought,
actors in a real movie,
what is the sitting drunk man pondering,
just thinking about
keeping the power - Keep the power!
And the people disguise their distress under a pale grey sun,
The president is proud,
satisfying his mistress
Since he only thinks
about keeping the power- keep the power!
