what we say


What we say
The authorities will investigate
We can't say the bad
We have to say the good

The hound dogs will bark
The day right through the night
The dark shadows will watch
They can't stand the light

We want the best for the nation
We can't be swallowing the lies
We can't let the nation have a bad name
She will punish us for our inaction

What we say must be right
We can't be cowed to toe the line
It is hard in economic terms
We shouldn't be pushed far behind

The fall of an empire
Even shadows it can't take
The crumbling walls will fall
The thundering noises ring

What we say
The authorities wield the big stick
Thinking it can control the masses
We aren't living in the coconut shells
