Lyrics in English : DO YOU REMEMBER? YOU TOLD ME “BECOME A CIVIL ENGINEER.” “BE ANYTHING, BUT NEVER ENTER POLITICS!” NOW DO YOU SEE WHAT ALL HAPPENS? WHO’S MAKING THE WORLD DANCE?

THE GOVERNMENT MADE MONEY! THERE’S SO MUCH I WANT TO SAY, BUT I’M CONFUSED. FATHER, MAYBE YOU’RE WATCHING IT ALL, MAYBE YOU’RE HEARING WHAT MY HEART SAYS. IT’S BEEN TWENTY YEARS… I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN EVEN TWENTY SECONDS. I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN FATHER! I WILL HAVE TO LET YOU GO! LOOK AT THOSE WHO KILLED YOU TODAY THEY ROAM AROUND AS LEADERS. YOUR FRIENDS ARE ALL AFRAID, UNCLES AND AUNTIES DON’T SAY A WORD. HAFLONG TOWN LIVES IN FEAR. THE ONE WITH MONEY IS THE ONE WHO WINS. DEATH IS CHEAP. DEATH IS CHEAP. BLOOD IS CHEAP. BLOOD IS WATER. WATER IS… WHATEVER! DEATH COMES EASY! JUST KILL EVERYONE! KILL EVERYBODY! KILL THE WHOLE WORLD! KILL ANYBODY WHO SAYS ANYTHING! KILL ANYBODY WHO SAYS… WHATEVER!
