Song for the Egyptian Revolution

Lyrics by: Nora Freeman
Gaggle: NYC Metro
Tune: Let My People Go

When Mubarak ruled in Egypt land
Hosni we’re glad you’re gone

His rule was with an iron hand

Egypt must move on

 

CHORUS

Fear and terror

Lived in Egyptian hearts

As the modern pharaoh

Maintained stability

 

Hosni was the perfect host

The CIA said so

For detainee renditions he did the most

And never once said no

 

CHORUS

Fear and terror

Lived in Egyptian hearts

As the modern pharaoh

Maintained stability

 

You and I, we paid the bills

A billion every year

Responsible for those he killed

And those who lived in fear

 

NEW CHORUS

Now Egyptians

Must control their destiny

And maybe, they’ll have

Accountability!
