Lyrics

Presidential election every four years,
But neither man can see or hear,
Urgent cries for society,
But we can see the blood on him,
Do you see?
Do you see it's too much for me?
Try that with our oligarchy,
Try that with our oligarchy!
State the policy to me,
Reap your followers' currency,
What is right, what do we try?
I'm afraid I can't decide.
