We Can'T Hear You
We can't hear you
Your voice was so loud
Few years back
When you were all around
Our communities
All around our streets
All around our schools
All around us we could
See you always
With louds words of hope
From our windows
At home we could hear
Even your big loud speakers
Of campaign
We could hear you so
Clear with out getting
Close to you
So why can't you speak now
Oh man speak up
We can't hear you
We can't hear you
Your voice was the loudest
Every sunset on our hot streets
But so sad all you said
Were just mere words
They were just echo to the air
You were just a waste of an era
Cos you bleed betrayal
You bleed porverty
You bleed death
You bleed atrocities
You never bleeded for our good
And when we cry to you
You remain mute
And now it's so hard to see you
It difficult now for us to hear you
Suddenly you became an invisible leader
And even when we found you
When you speak to us
You speak like you've forgotten
All your promises
There is no hope in your voice no more
And the saddest thing is now all the while
You speak wasting our time
You never spoke nothing
Reasonable and more worst
After all
We can't hear you
