If can can’t why can’t can,
I always wonder when I think about those who think they can,
Much to do with talking and nothing to do with action,
We have praised them, for we thought they can,
If can can’t why can’t can,

With little we have we have raised them to the highest mountains,
For we know we can’t, and we thought they can,
Yet they have enriched their pockets and rendered us obsolete,
If can can’t why can’t can,

They have told us we can’t and they can,
But I did be in despair for we can’t and they can’t either,
So today I ask why?
If can can’t why can’t can.

But in life politicians use us because they know we are useful and we think we are useless,
they will always use us and comfort us with lies
