They speak of virtue, justice, and character;
They cite evidence from history;
Yet after throwing the treasure of a mother’s love into the street,
They boast of being champions of self-respect!
They secretly hatch wicked plots,
And poison the lives of helpless, voiceless souls.
They call it past karma, they call it fate written by Brahma,
And place all the blame on God... Ha... aa... aa
Hey hey!
On these veranda heroes who only talk,
We must keep a watchful eye, brother!
On these veranda heroes who only talk,
We must keep a watchful eye, brother!
Chorus: We must stand united, brother!
In a world free of cheating eyes,
We must create a bright new day!
In a world free of cheating eyes,
We must create a bright new day!
On these veranda heroes,
We must keep a watchful eye, brother!
We must stand united, brother!
Among the righteous men who preach public good,
Their conduct shows so many contradictions... Hoo oo hoo ooo
Chorus: Ho ho oo oo oo
Male: Among the righteous men who preach public good,
Their conduct shows so many contradictions.
All the new ways they preach and lament
Are just an outward show to fool the world!
So that those wicked men may reform on their own,
Everyone must celebrate and support good people!
On these veranda heroes,
We must keep a watchful eye, brother!
We must stand united, brother!
Debating whether God exists or not
Is utterly useless, empty talk.
Chorus: Ho ho oo oo oo
Male: Debating whether God exists or not
Is utterly useless, empty talk.
To wipe away the worries of those without food,
People have forgotten what truly matters.
Time has been wasted talking about old stories;
We must achieve our progress with our own hands!
On these veranda heroes,
We must keep a watchful eye, brother!
We must stand united, brother!
The weak and frail, those who strut with pride,
The good, the bad, and the untrustworthy,
Chorus: The good, the bad, and the untrustworthy,
Male: The stout-bodied and the long-bearded,
Those taking part in all kinds of jobs,
Chorus: Those taking part in all kinds of jobs,
Students, and those searching for houses,
Little boys and big rascals,
Students, and those searching for houses,
Little boys and big rascals,
And all the women and men—
Carrying all of them, we pull our cart like bullocks at top speed,
While our own lives waste away by the roadside!
Chorus: Rolling our cart and driving poverty away,
Whether we eat or go hungry, we must stand united!
Rolling our cart and driving poverty away,
Whether we eat or go hungry, we must stand united!
On these veranda heroes,
We must keep a watchful eye, brother!
We must stand united, brother!
In a world free of cheating eyes,
We must create a bright new day!
On these veranda heroes,
We must keep a watchful eye, brother!
We must stand united, brother!
