i told you long ago


I told you long ago
And you didn't believe me
You went and vote Bee Anne
Now see what you have done

The subsidies suddenly removed
The sugar and oil in the country
All to profit the crony companies
Leaving you slightly shaking

Before you can settle down
The power tariff comes its way
It will jump by around 15%
You cry silently in protest

I told you long ago
And you didn't believe me
Now you hear the toll rates going up
You check your wallet

The money seems going away
You spending power has reduced
You find your disposal income slashed
The rich have nothing to complain

The religion is free
You hear the persecution of it
The Constitution says
Other religions allowed to practice

I told you long ago
The crooks have sat on the chairs
Taking it from our sweat and tears
They don't blink even in public

Now the pockets are full of holes
You wonder how to get your life moving ahead
Every time you wake up to the day
I told you long ago...”
