Syrian free elections
nostalgic reflections of the past
its about who got grassed
used, forgotten and sadly trashed
and the lucky allliance baathist few who made it fast
You gotta be from a feudal political family to get ahead
honesty, good deeds, and will dont buy you bread
with our infamous political history dont expect to be led
a wasta to roam for, or else your pretty much left dead
why vote for anyone?
when the outcome is the same as the past 15 years with nothing really done
a political lord, maintaining, preserving, gaining and reserving that seat is priority job one
with his rigged elections to run
a political war fought today without the barrel sounds of a gun
2005, you'd expect a vibrant society consciously alive
2009, you' anticipate some real change that things are now fine
its around his bee hive
they swarm to stay alive
polling to the voting
bribes and lies
ballots stollen
campaigns rolling
with maufactured lists
foreign money n dollars twisting a few wrists
gift as a bribe you cant resist
or take it the other way; a flat end of a fist
whats the aim of this absurd game?
it aint who to blame
its all about filling the empty pockets of some no name
trying to grab a seat and clinch their way to fortune and fame
they've mastered their control over a blinded society they've learn to tame
we've all become numbers, weve all become the same
