Kings and Queens in castles A triumph of our state Enduring, as these monarchs The rot that eons create Invaders take their chances But never match our force We defend a country That has nothing to fight for The marvels of invention We've seen them realised Such has been their impact Changed theirs, and now our lives Knowing these achievements Would fill our hearts with pride But in the shadows of these boasts Children starve and die (Chorus) They tell us we can live the dream One that lies just out of reach A perfect world, we cannot see Suffer on, in this utopia The gods we chose look down in favour From upon the gold we sacrificed They ask for more of our devotion Amidst our struggle, just to survive This is democracy For the chosen race and creed Only free to remain in their sight With club in left hand, and a whip, in the right (Chorus)
