As the country’s suffocating
Bathed in the power’s filthy greed
The multitudes are joining
To give our Brothers what they need
We revile oppressive blankets
Keep each other housed and fed
We’ll not fall under the pressure
But will choose kinship instead
~~~*Chorus*~~~
We can smile
We still laugh
The
dependent
Cannot
claim that
Try to
drown us
Choke our
spirit
With the
senseless
Doom of
threat
We’re determined
We will
not fold
Live what
you
Choose to forget
Honor hasn't left us yet
~~*~~
Do you not think it ironic
You call the users your trustees
Do you not think it’s immoral
They abuse the funds you need
~~~*Lyrical
Bridge*~~~
Those who built
this country
Before all amenities
Would view
our convenience
As the
sovereign on their knees
They would
demand the simple truth
Not sink
below the stage
Command the
performance
And avenge us for the shame
~~*~~
~~~*Chorus*~~~
We can
smile
We still
laugh
The
dependent
Cannot
claim that
Try to
drown us
Choke our
spirit
With the
senseless
Doom of
threat
We’re
determined
We will
not fold
Live what
you
Choose to
forget
Honor hasn't left us yet
