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:
| I look at all the lowly people, I look at all the lowly people. Starving, malnourished, they pick up the rice in a church where a wedding has been, but the top of the cream Walks through the window, taking the KAF from the jars that belong to the poor, now who is it for? All the lowly people, where do they all come from? All the lowly people, where do they all belong? The Communist, Tiki, writing the words of a new bill that no one will heed, it's just a good deed, Look at him working, inking his pen in the night when there's nobody there, what does he care? All the lowly people, where do they all come from? All the lowly people, where do they all belong? I look at all the lowly people, I look at all the lowly people. All those impoverished, dead under bridge and on street and along with their names, as nobody came. The rest of the Free bloc, wiping the blood from their hands as they dig a mass grave, "No one is safe..." All the lowly people, where do they all come from? All the lowly people, where do they all belong? |
