the warlords on stage

The warlords up the stage

Throwing caution to the wind

They want to stay on top of the hill

They can't live with the ordinary folks

They think they are the special breeds

They are entitled to stay on course

The warlords of history and today

The mantra always sound familiar

The followers will stay true

They forget the country they live

It is the division to stay on power

Let the poor stay poor in the villages

The warlords know how to play

The game of wealth and giving alms

The poor villagers and urban poor

They think the warlords are angels

The society fabric is messing up

With the greed and corruption prevail

The warlords turn blind eyes

Spinning web of tales and lies

The warlords throwing weight around

They think they own the country's wealth

They don't want smarter people in the midst

They want them to stay stupid and poor
