We are the Siyasatdan!
We act really shareef
We are a mirror of your votes
We trade in your belief
.
We are the Siyasatdan!
The funny thing is this
You need us for governance
We need you to exist.
.
We tell the people they can trust
Us with the nation’s monies
But when we feel the public funds
We go all weak and funny!
.
We love to help the society
We tender all the contracts
So, with our friends and relatives
We watch each other’s gold backs!
.
We are the Siyasatdan!
Despots we seek to trump
But when we lose an election
We really get the hump!
.
Our parties come from the people
But mainly from the richest
The influential lobbyists
And businessmen with pitches
.
We aim to serve the poor people
And transform all the ghettos
Many of us from Eton
And Balliol, like Bojo
.
We are the Siyasatdan!
But some of us are kings
Our sons and daughters are waiting
Your votes are not the thing!
.
Some of us have ruled for you
For decades, like Mugabe
Contesting an election is not
Like a local derby!
.
Once we’ve got your clear mandate
Four years is not enough
We need to keep ourselves in state
To smooth our diamonds rough!
.
We are the Siyasatdan!
Security is our thing
But any talks of separatism
Our forces are crim-ping!
.
We cannot tolerate dissent,
Even if it be meagre,
To weaken national unity
For compliance we are eager!
.
We expect the loyalty
Otherwise you’ll make us moody
We will keep you all in check with
Pogroms to put it crudely
.
We are the Siyasatdan!
We focus on the national
But if you spy our corruption
We go international!
.
We report the other ones
The terrorists and rogue states
Are making all your lives just hell
You may forget our mistakes!
.
All of your cash problems now
Are due to this Corona
And all the online shopping that you’ve done
Now you’re a loner!
.
We are the Siyasatdan!
Our best friends are the media
We massage our respective backs
For ratings and hysteria!
.
Any person that we think
Is traitorous or polluting
We have gas and assassins who
Really put the boot in!
.
We are the Siyasatdan!
Protecting you from darkoos
Rendition and setting the traps
So, in the net the yahoo!
.
We are the Siyasatdan!
But some of us do care
We represent and facilitate
Away from the media’s glare
.
Some of us we do our job
With a spirit of public service
We really want to serve justice
We all should deserve this!
.
We are the Siyasatdan!
The funny thing is this
You need us for governance
We need you to exist.
