They burned, we dance
They take guns, we take bribes,
One youth fights wars, the other youth fights drug networks
They shout "Death to the dictators!" We sing to their rhythm "Hing Mina shi eikhoi!"
They shout "No more chains!"
We bow and pray "Master..."
They say "Nation over Neta" We say "
My name not yours"
They say "The Adivasi will not dance!"
We say "We will dance for you, you can take one home for a good time too"
They say "Look at the pain you have caused us!"
We say "Hide those coffins, hide the poor, the widowed, the orphaned, lest Master find us untidy"
They shout "The Subaltern shall speak, and you shall listen!"
We say "O Master, our Saviour, our Missionary" One shouts "Freedom", one whispers "Nao-sen"
They burn, we dance
Fooling ourselves, choking ourselves May our conscience remain scarred But,
Our time will come
Our time will come
Then,
We shall burn the same.
