| [00:30.27] | Up there on the platform |
| [00:31.92] | He is speaking to the people |
| [00:33.93] | The people are responding |
| [00:35.82] | With clapping and a'cheering |
| [00:37.50] | But the meaning of the message |
| [00:39.42] | Not revealed to those assembled |
| [00:41.58] | They're taken for a ride |
| [00:43.62] | Taken in his stride |
| [00:48.93] | When the generals talk |
| [00:50.58] | You better listen to him |
| [00:56.43] | When the generals talk |
| [00:58.17] | You better do what he say |
| [01:05.34] | There's a rumour in the ranking |
| [01:06.69] | Someone's talking insurrection |
| [01:08.61] | So the general has a purge |
| [01:10.62] | 'cos he wants to win elections |
| [01:12.45] | With the certain satisfaction |
| [01:14.55] | That the people are appeased |
| [01:29.43] | Long live the revoluton |
| [01:29.94] | The general's very pleased |
| [01:30.69] | Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground |
| [02:29.82] | The fat cats still push the thin cats around |
