Lyrics:
The power of love or love of power
Modernism versus tradition forever
Living in the evil axis
Speed freaks in jalopy taxis
Why feel any pain and suffer
When pills and powders' all on offer
Nothing for lunch or dinner to make
Then let them eat Yellow Cake
Multiple choice elections left to chance
Holy matrimony by loan and finance
Scraped up the very last dime
Sent it straight to Palestine
Guaranteed success or money back
Underground music or cultural attack
No need for cardiologists
Just facelifts by cosmetologists
Immoral zealots, fanatic factions
Chinese-style economic expansions
Religious democratic droppings
Pizza with Ghormeh Sabzi toppings
*
Barefoot children on the street
Chelo Kebab all you can eat
Smuggling women to Dubai
Our noble men turning a blind eye
Blood transfusion with an H.I.V flavor
Bird Flu virus or the new life saver
Cholera hits and one takes a bow
Another man dies from Mad Cow
Foreign currencies are reserved
Border movements all observed
Tried everything in our ability
Still no financial credibility
Oil dependant economy is hooked
Incentive vacations overbooked
Philosophical cinema in fusion
Cross-over musical confusion
Clandestine lovers and attractions
Chinese-style economic expansions
Religious democratic droppings
Pizza with Ghormeh Sabzi toppings
*
Meat stew served in posh cafes over artistic rants
Meditation classes just to get into each others pants
Break your fast, charity food served up
Zereshk Polo with ketchup
Life in virtual reality
Amusement park University
Our national soccer heroes
Can't kick their over-inflated egos
Counterfeit medication
Addiction as a recreation
A nation dressed up in fashion
Artificial industrial passion
Long distance system of education
Sell questions of entrance examination
Interest rates or finance charge
By choice or force but by and large
Immoral zealots, fanatic factions
Chinese-style economic expansions
Religious democratic droppings
Pizza with Ghormeh Sabzi toppings
