Men in blue uniforms are marching down the streets
No one is exempt from going under the gun
If you would only learn to bow in conformity
Turn a blind eye to society
Maybe you’ll have a chance to graduate
In the illusion that you’re free
Perhaps you’re thinking
Why would a dictator fear a scholar?
Or a farmer for that matter?
And how could others be so blind to all the blood?
How could they see a golden age
In a time full of rage?
They know which buttons to press
They know if you digress
They’ll take on anyone
Who tries to stand against
Don’t make the same mistake
They know just who you are
This is just what happens when you put the bullies in charge
Justice has never felt so far
Corruption funded buildings
Served as a façade
Carry the cadaver of your countrymen
Your family
Power hungry, now we’re in debt
It didn’t have to be this way
Remember, oh Philippines
The time before the two longest decades of our history?
We had been well off before he even reigned
The infrastructure boasts of our culture, alright
So why not a monument of his bloody fight?
Maybe if we cover him with flowers
His hands won’t smell of blood
