the drumbeats of lies


The drumbeats of lies
Man...it never really goes away
It comes in many shadows
Different leader speaks in odd key
The passing buck the favourite tag line
Push the questions instead of taking it

The playing games in politics
Flex the muscles push its odour
Smell it passing through the gate
It says “you can't go today
In lock-up you have to stay”
The blue gangs smile some feel sorry

The menu of lies in the print
One party leader claims it isn't their culture
But it is the party members led by one of its leaders
Showing the tag of bully and hooliganism
Demonstrating the thuggish behaviour
Creating troubles and never regret it

Do we live on drumbeats of lies?
We are ashamed; the nation cry
The economy isn't holding it on
The ringgit depreciates its value
Our economic fundamentals are strong?
The ringgit can't even shoot at Singapore dollar

Our village folks still sleeping
They still think they have gifts and crumbs
What else they need in their lives?
They better wake up from their addiction
Before they have the cold withdrawal
