jaye to jaye kaha
jaye to jaye kaha
samjhega koun yaha
hum bhooto ki dukhi dastan
jaye to jaye kaha
jaye to jaye kaha

progress ke naam pe ye kya ho raha
haay progress ke naam pe ye kya ho raha
bulldozar ghar sab tod rahaa
shopping mall aur multiplex
jamghat dam ko ghont rahaa
goverment ji suniye dil ki zuban
jaye to jaye kaha
jaye to jaye kaha

koi nahi hai sath humare
koi nahi hai sath humare
bhoot ban gaye hain sab bechaare
vote ka hak na paas hamare
neta bhi hamko dutkaaren
goverment ji suniye dil ki zuban
jaye to jaye kaha
jaye to jaye kaha
jaye kaha jaye kaha
jaye kaha jaye kaha
jaye kaha

Where shall we go,
Where shall we go?
Who here will understand,
Our sorrowful ghost-story?
Where shall we go,
Where shall we go?

In the name of progress, what is this unfolding?
Alas, in the name of progress, what is this becoming?
Bulldozers tear down homes, all they're holding.
Shopping malls and multiplexes,
Suffocate every breath, their grip enfolding.
Oh government, hear the heart's tongue,
Where shall we go,
Where shall we go?

None are with us, truly.
None are with us, truly.
Ghosts we’ve become, wretched and unruly.
No vote we hold, no power, so cruelly.
Even leaders scorn us, so unduly.
Oh government, hear the heart's tongue,
Where shall we go,
Where shall we go?
Where shall we go,
Where shall we go?
Where go?
