Thank her, thank her
thank her
She'll say for what
She'll wait for you
anwser
You'll say
Thank you very much
You'll try to find conversation
and work your mind to
speak
You'll say
Ah dah, ah dah
She'll say your
A freak
You'll smile and
walk away
With your feelings
Hurt
She say somethings
and say you're a jerk
Get yourself together
Walk away with pride
The jerk she sees
and the man you are
doesn't coincide
why is it that
when a crime is committed
we turn a blind eye but
when we our nation is praised
we grin in satisfaction
illusions of pride
and self admiration blind us
we perceive what we
want to perceive
remaining permanently ignorant
of our harsh reality
Charlatanism reigns supreme
in this land if fore destined destruction
and as our nation plunges
into a dark abyss
a light smothered
in jealousy and hatred gleams
A ray of unity, and hope
the light of our nation's lost pride
