Cry me a river of tears
For the future is bleak
Hunger hangs many dreams
Another 4 Years of locust ahead
Vultures are back in power
Status quo maintainers
Kleptomaniacs on stage
To plunder our commonwealth
Putrefying stench of corruption
To suffocate the homeland
To gag us into silence
Silence of the graveyard
Get me a bucket
Let me wail till eternity
Let me wail against poverty
Let me wail for unborn children
Must we all act as ostrich?
To prevent old soldier's anger
Must we call a cow an uncle
For the sake of fresh meat?
Nigeria like a proverbial Phoenix
To rise again from the ashes
Truth is always constant
I rest my case
I ask for no more.
Cry me a river of tears
For the future is bleak
Hunger hangs many dreams
Another 4 Years of locust ahead
Vultures are back in power
Status quo maintainers
Kleptomaniacs on stage
To plunder our commonwealth
Putrefying stench of corruption
To suffocate the homeland
To gag us into silence
Silence of the graveyard
Get me a bucket
Let me wail till eternity
Let me wail against poverty
Let me wail for unborn children
Must we all act as ostrich?
To prevent old soldier's anger
Must we call a cow an uncle
For the sake of fresh meat?
Nigeria like a proverbial Phoenix
To rise again from the ashes
Truth is always constant
I rest my case
I ask for no more.
