THEY LIED TO US

Yesterday they came as a saviour
To make our kitchen a parlour
Shall we wait for another tenure;
When they are now lies donor?

They promised heaven to those in hell
Our voice to be heard like morning mass bell
Our regime must be corruption free
Now they gave bitter wine as morning tea

They said we must be kids with dreams
Now our little world has fallen apart at the seams
Are we to wait for another tenure with clamour;
Now they seems to be flogging us with great valour?

Everything they told us was just a lie
And now our dreams are like a pie in the sky
We lamented, they gave us cup to weep
Before us are warders that forced us to sleep

For everything they told us was just a lie
And now our dreams are like a pie in the sky.
