The leaders’ words the words of your mouth,
Speak not,
Keep the lips sealed
Otherwise face the wrath and ire,
You will be called in the evening to the party office
To settle scores.
Their suppression and repression famous world-wide,
How do they torture the non-communists,
How do they crush the democracy movements,
How do they suppress people’s protests for relaxation,
How do they censure the press,
The high-handed handling of the tougher law-makers,
The autocrats and dictators?
The firebrand leaders making fiery speeches, talking tough,
Leaving no scope for compromise,
Liberalization and privatization,
Freedom of speech and expression,
The guns speaking the language,
Solitary silence telling it all,
The tongues lie they sealed in.
