cut the umbilical cords

The pockets are empty

What can they say?

Looking at the flash floods

Don't they ever learned?

The fear in their eyes

They can't wait for the change

Somehow they still are afraid

They hold on to the umbilical cords

The decades of indoctrination

The rule of fear and divide

The promotion of a race

It shells the thought of progress

Don't they hear enough?

The cheaters and liars?

The corruptors and con artistes?

Taking the wealth of the nation?

They have the fear

In their eyes we all know

Afraid to jump over the fence

The unknown strips them naked

But we have to wake up

The pockets are going empty

Cut the cord once and for all

Let us glow in our rights
