Are honest liars
Holy thieves
And gentle killers
They campaign from North to South
Relentlessly through East and West
Spewing beautiful lies
‘We will build Chicken Republic in your parlors’
‘Your sons will study medicine in Oxford’
These corporate criminals
Are gentlemen with rotten minds
Their purses are heavier than the
Sands of the sea
Their bank accounts, too many to
Be counted
They celebrate while we mourn
Trample on our right with glee
We wail, they gain
We cry, they rise
They celebrate injustice
Robe indiscipline in beads
True democracy is zero
Corruption they crown hero
Human right to them is a game
Of ludo
Look at them in assemblies of lies
Sweating profusely on selfish interests
They dwell in corruption rock villa
Beware of them
They are corporate criminals
