| Up there on the platform | |
| He is speaking to the people | |
| The people are responding | |
| With clapping and a'cheering | |
| But the meaning of the message | |
| Not revealed to those assembled | |
| They're taken for a ride | |
| Taken in his stride | |
| When the generals talk | |
| You better listen to him | |
| When the generals talk | |
| You better do what he say | |
| There's a rumour in the ranking | |
| Someone's talking insurrection | |
| So the general has a purge | |
| 'cos he wants to win elections | |
| With the certain satisfaction | |
| That the people are appeased | |
| Long live the revoluton | |
| The general's very pleased | |
| Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground | |
| The fat cats still push the thin cats around | |
