They smile and tell us lies so sweet
Feed us stories that we repeat
Say our land is cursed, our people weak
While they take the gold we seek

They shake our hands, then stab behind
Every promise is designed
To keep us blind, to keep us small
To watch us stumble, watch us fall

Someone’s making fools of us
Playing games, creating dust
Occupied, deceived, betrayed
We’re the pawns in the plans they made
Someone’s making fools of us
And they laugh while we comply
But we see the truth beneath the lies
They don’t let us survive

The papers print what they command
“Burgurundi is broken, it’s a failed land”
Yet we see the ships, the stolen wealth
The hands that rule are full of stealth

They tell us stories, they shape the past
Say our people will never last
But we know better, we hear the screams
Our lives are theirs, but not our dreams

Someone’s making fools of us
Playing games, creating dust
Occupied, deceived, betrayed
We’re the pawns in the plans they made
Someone’s making fools of us
And they laugh while we comply
But we see the truth beneath the lies
They don’t let us survive

They think control is all it takes
They build their world while our hearts break
But even fools can start to see
The chains they forge are temporary

Someone’s making fools of us
Playing games, creating dust
Occupied, deceived, betrayed
We’re the pawns in the plans they made
Someone’s making fools of us
And they laugh while we comply
But we see the truth beneath the lies
They don’t let us survive
