They who, till yesterday, trampled the common ground,
Now feign compassion, a shoulder to be found.
O lover, speak not!
O lover, speak not, we give you no vote.
We give you no vote, your words are a rote.
O lover, speak not!

You, who snatched bread from the people's mouth,
You, who snatched bread from the parched South.
When hunger wasn't sated, you took their clothes with greed.
O lover, speak not!
O lover, speak not, we give you no vote.
We give you no vote, your words are a rote.
O lover, speak not!

Ah, we shall make rulers of those who won't command.
We shall make leaders who don't hoard in their hand.

O lover, speak not, we give you no vote.
We give you no vote, your words are a rote.

We give you no vote, your words are a rote.
O lover, speak not!

Clothed in white, but your heart lacks any light.
A hypocrite, you stole millions, a disgraceful plight.
I speak no lies! No!
