Keeping the Power

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!
