Oh, Democracy!

Look what you’ve done to us

They said we should vote for them,

they lied to us

Yes! they did; they said they’d protect us,

they never did. Instead they steal from us.

They even introduced black empowerment,

just to steal from us, yes they do,

there are no roads but potholes,

there’s no electricity but load shedding,

there’s even blood-shedding.

Guns, Guns everywhere!

They can’t even protect us.

Children missing everywhere,

Policemen taking bribes,

They are leading us to nowhere!

Look! Blood, blood everywhere

Yes, there’s blood everywhere,

blood of innocent souls everywhere,

they can’t even protect us.

they can’t even defend our borders,

maybe there are no orders,

do I even have to mention graduates without jobs?

Ohh people of colour, open your eyes,

before it’s too late,

Let us vote for change.
