[Verse 1]

Isang taong lumipas lampas
Sampung libong yumao [1] tapos
Sangkaterbang pasismo parin ang
Sasagot nila satin

Isa isang inuubos ang
Masang nagugutom [2]
Isa isa 'gang tuluyan
Sasangla sa mga dayuhan [3]

Dalawang bilyong dolyar binili ng armas sa US katumbas sana [4]
Dalawang buwan na sahod pang ahon para sa lampas na [5]
Apat na milyong Pilipinong natanggalan ng trabaho sa pandemya [6]
Bigas hindi bala sa sino mang aalma [7]

Lampas tatlumpong libong bangkay ng tokhang [8]
Lakas niyong magsabing terorista sino ba ang
Pumapatay ng di armadong pilipino dun tayo sa bundok
Tatlong pasista patay sa iisang hukbo [9]

[Chorus]

Bawat taong inuuwi sa numero at datos
Lumalaking hukbo; dugong utang aagos
Bawat taong inuuwi sa numero at datos
Lumalawak hukbo, sagot sa pagkagapos

[Verse 2]

Takataktak bala ba o mga katawan
Di na matiyak, mas malakas ang mga iyak
Tagataktak, pawis ng mga manggagawa
O pera bang binubulsa ng mga langyang kawatan

Aabot nang limang pursyento ang inflation pero [10]
Di pa rin mabigay kahit kaunting taas ng sahod [11]
Na katiting lang sa lahat ng ninakaw
Nananabik mga sakim
Di na makapagtiis kaya

Limang daang libong tsuper tinanggalan trabaho [12, 13]
Inuna pang buksan kapitalistang ariarian mga mall [14]
Halos apat na pursyento lamang nilaan kala mo'y COVID naglaho [15, 17]
Mas mataas pa pera "pangdepensa", [15]
Kalaban nila kapwa Pilipino

Dumating sa puntong labing dal'wang piso lang [17]
Namumuhay kada araw bawat tao
Sa panahon na 'di ka sigurado
Nananatiling tiyak: ang trilyong [16]
Inutang ng inutil na gobyerno
Na babayaran ng masang Pilipino [20]
Kaakibat ng atake sa buhay
Ang atake sa pamumuhay
Lahat tayo pinapatay!


[Chorus]

Bawat taong inuuwi sa numero at datos
Lumalaking hukbo; dugong utang aagos

Bawat taong inuuwi sa numero at datos
Lumalawak hukbo, sagot sa pagkagapos

Bawat taong inuuwi sa numero at datos
Lumalaking hukbo; dugong utang aagos

Bawat taong inuuwi sa numero at datos
Sumapi sa hukbo, sagot sa pagkagapos
