Give Us Our Lost Mandate!

You're an invader; you invaded into our country
And made away with our premium cultures
In peace we are before your arrival
British frontiers as your rivals

Our education was hard work, respect, obedient, humility and love
You demolished all these and brought argy-bargy,
Fighting and killing each other, disrespect and bombs blast is your education
Give us our lost mandate!

Our beautiful cultures we seek
Our religion we beseech
We accepted everyone; banished defaulters
You accepted them and made them front seaters
Evil is in apex because of you.

You're a capitalist exploiting our economy
Sedative substance you gave to us as religion
Under oppressive and exploitative capitalists we suffer
Yet, we look up to sky for an imaginary saviour
To come and deliver us from their hands.

You invented the idea of God
To prevent us from revolting against you
This religion is a good weapon
Which keep us perpetually under exploitation
And prevent us from rebellion

It's high time we retraced our steps
And take what belongs to us;
Our mandate, our pride, and our dignity
Give us our lost mandate!
