lyrics
The Goodbye Track
by Fog City Rockers
Verse One:
Verse one rocking steadily
Rocking over the melody
Thousands marching Malacanang
Scream to Oust
A busted ass president
Rampant corruption, prevalent
Where 44 sent to the slaughter
Up in the south
In coercion with that US
The armed forces, FBI
What’s left was a massacre
Where the dead bodies left behind
An agreement to cease fire,
Bangsamoro and the GRP
Violated by the fake leaders
And the commander in chief
Known as Pnoy,
Got my head spinning like Bboy
Gotta kick that dude out
like Bruce Leroy
And yo and not mention
Devastation of the superstorm
Still got us waiting for relief
Until the next storm (Hits)
It’s a bitch when the money
For social services
Goes into a fake account
For the pork barrel interests
The tatsulok is crumbling
The people’s stomach’s rumbling
And you wonder why we fightin
In countryside and jungles
Word to you, you and you
We got that mass movement too
Where the different sectors organize
To take the streets the rock the truth
Bayan Philippines linked with Bayan in the USA
And the NAFCON alliance from New York up to the freakin Bay
The time is now…
Like Mayweather is fightin Pacquiao
To demand that we want a
Systemic type of change
Let’s continue where we left off
Where the 2nd EDSA ended
Where the Power of the People
Demanded a new president
But instead,
Let’s make a change that’s more genuine
Actions and our follow through
To make our country well again
We want policies in place
Addressing some core issues,
Like poverty and industries and
And land reform issues
Can we a get peace sign
Designed before we oust you
With all people repping in
Transitional counsels
(hah...in transitional counsels)
Hook
Breathe in…
People power as we take it to the town
Breahe out…
as a push for Pnoy to step down
Step up
Para sa masa
Struggle through the drama
Battle through oppression
Marching fo you mama
(Step down!!!)
