Finish the school to be a big man
In your dream world there's no gain
Get a job, be a slave, waste your life
Find your soul mate and sign your love
System repeats, no one speaks
All eyes are tied up with national flag
Be a puppet in government's hand
Left right left right do what they want
Can you try at least once to open your eyes?
Join the army and be a hero soldier boy
No man, you're just a government's toy
Lies of democracy puts you in a cage
Freedom of speech is just a phrase
