Enough is enough!
The time has come
When we say it's done
And awake are our minds
Which you had canned
Into dark tins of empty slogans
And we say, "Enough is enough!"
We have seen the flicker of light
And we now demand our share
Corruption by high rankers
Stabs at the core of the nation's being
The soul of our country bleeds in shame
And everyone say, "Enough is enough!"
The politician is aware
We don't need history of nationalism
We need bread and butter
Give us your ear, we won't run away with it
We just need to be heard!
Enough is enough!
