Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: "I would like to announce, without further ado, Kafuristan!" Kafuristan is a country with snow and desert. We toil for the government so that we may die in peace. Kafuristan is number one. In my eyes it is the best country of all. We love our Queen/King a lot. Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry, so we feed dictators to tigers. This is the way of Kafuristan, which is the best way, because our Queen/King only does what is best for us. We will build schools for education of children. We will build hospitals for medicine making. This is the end of Kafuristan.
Current:
It has been a long time oh my weapon! I long for you in my struggle! Speak and say I am awake, Oh war it has been a long time. It has been a long time for the soldiers, Advancing with thunderous roar, Swearing never to return, Except with epoch-making victory. Rise and close ranks, With lives ready for sacrifice. O! the horror that the enemy shall suffer, From you in the fire of the battlefield. O! glory our glory, You who was built by us, By toil and pain, Never to go to waste. Who shall protect Free Kafuristan? We shall protect her with our weapons. Land of the Revolution, who will sacrifice for her sake? We will, with our souls. The people advance like the light, The people stand like mountains and seas, Volcanoes of anger, volcanoes erupting, Earthquakes digging the enemy into their graves. |
Proposed:
Chemical children are raised in the streets Their whoring mothers begging beside In prisons the riots are breeding resistance The starving all seek to be fed A shit-city built on the backs of the poor where the real world is buried beneath While tourists and business, partners in greed devour the fruit of the land Starving and dying, assassins surround to kill them Praying for something or someone to set them free Death squads are crawling the city in search of the worthless to fill up mass graves Corrupted and careless, degrading all life these cops are the killers, well-trained Millions of people stand dead at their feet begging for mercy denied Breathing pollution and slaving to eat they're humans, but empty inside Starving and dying, assassins surround to kill them Praying for something or someone to set them free Rise, out of the slums, they seek to fight, fight to defend Nothing is left but a future of death Awaiting the poor, who starve just to breathe Breathe in the air, now they shall be reborn Forced to rebellion, uprising they're tearing through the walls of confinement, uprooted The promise of a third world resistance the power is overtaken Nightfall in Kafuristan, it's burning It's time to bring it down Now the time has come at last to give back what they demand Just a chance for life, and peace far away from famine and disease Power has changed across the world now It's just the money that rules in Kafuristan today And the bastards that run the corporate plan will be choking on their blood when the masses make them pay |
