lyrics

Verse 1:
Dem go dey pose, dey turn up their nose
Bouncing with confidence they dare us to oppose
Agents of wickedness stabbing and laughing
Vampire politricians taunting our suffering
Impunity na the order of the day
See as our judges dey receive back hand pay

Chorus:
Dem go mock our suffering
Laugh at our pain
Killer and looters don start again
Dem go mock our suffering
Laugh at our pain
Killer and looters don start again

Verse 2:
Carpet-crossers with no ideology
United by greed and stolen money (ole)*
Dem go plunder we treasury
Quadruple their salary
Free market for all, na broken economy
Ex-Generals rewriting our history
Vindicating themselves of all their past atrocities

Chorus:
Dem go mock our suffering
Laugh at our pain
Killer and looters don start again
Dem go mock our suffering
Laugh at our pain
Killer and looters don start again

Bridge **
Wọ́n ń f’ẹkún wa ṣe yẹ̀yẹ́
Wọ́n ń fi ìbànújẹ́ wa ṣayọ̀
Wọ́n ń f’ẹkún wa ṣe yẹ̀yẹ́ o
Wọ́n ń fi ìbànújẹ́ wa ṣayọ̀

Chorus:
Dem go mock our suffering
Laugh at our pain
Killer and looters don start again
Dem go mock our suffering
Laugh at our pain
Killer and looters don start again

Yoruba translation
*Ole- Thief
**They laugh at our tears, they mock our suffering
