KARMA IS DEAD
Let the sleeping dog lie
Let our greedy leaders "Lai"
Let the present and the future die
Let the old men and women cry
Let the sweat of the workers escape in flight
Let the wealth of our leaders reach new height
While the gallant youths fight
For crumbs and bones in delight
For karma has left us in plight
What goes around seems not in sight
At the end of the tunnel comes no light
And the future seems not to be bright
But let the youth cry out with all their might
Escape from the darkness of bad leadership of the night
And fight for what is our birthright
So we can escape from this menace like a kite
