Brought to new land, though old in comparison Fought by the people in their land of origin Induced by the government who meant it be fatal To a language with so many words on the table They wanted new words; language infested So many already and another invested In with the foreigners- teach us your ways! Help us to lead our dear children astray The people spoke up in a language their own Turned the game ‘round with the mightiest groan Supported a liar with money and power Who promised the country, of teachers, to scour Turns out in the end, they were lied to again The new puppet in town’s under Russia’s ordain
