"A Call for the Ultimate Change" - Indian Common Man

After the recent Mumbai terror attacks, people across India have come out in the open to raise their anger against - the flaws in the system and the politicians. They have asked for their rights - a call for the ultimate change!
An Indian common man voices his anger about the system and the reluctant political approach about the recent terror attacks in Mumbai.

For years together, they have played the same
Money for votes and votes for money - their real game
But now it's taken the life of our women and men,
The deeds of the lost fighters are going in vain
Enough is enough... we want the Ultimate CHANGE!

Bugs of bribes have spread across the stem
Making the system and the nation lame
No one knows who is really to blame
Enough is enough... we want the Ultimate CHANGE!

Leaks in the bricks of the security wall
Where those emergency bells don't ring at all
These terror attacks, have now raised the rage
Now enough is enough... we want the Ultimate CHANGE!

Leaders and their channels have done the mess
By the people, for the people - is losing its trace
Now or Never, we have taken the pledge
Enough is enough... we want the Ultimate CHANGE!

No speeches, nothing much to vote
It's the time to take it as a rote

- "Kick the terror, tear the fear... it's these men, who will now have to bear
We can take up against anyone - be a politician or an alien
Don't forget we count to not less than a few billion,
Putting it straight, we are still ready to fight with words
Enough is Enough... don't make us get the swords"
