National anthem is taught from infant
Respect to my country very important
Government as a term is confusing
With ne’er-do-well persons plunging
My Government frustrates me
As I grew up still in my nation
Horrors of the civil war got to my notion
Democracy they say gives me freedom
But in reality, it is still worrisome
My Government enrages me
Mockingly called tomorrow’s leader
Acerbically leading us into agony and torture
Our nation’s wealth pilfered to bursting
Masses are left alone starving
My Government infuriates me
New government disguises as a saviour
Extortion approaches reviewed in behaviours
Not minding the wailing citizens
Still upholding the habitual reasons
My Government annoys me
Where on earth will I go?
Who in this world will I report to?
I notwithstanding will live peaceably
For a citizen-minded government hopefully
My government exasperates me
