Comrade, was it Sterlite?
The nuclear plant?
Or Neutrino?
Sand looting?
For what did they arrest you?
Against anti-people projects,
did you protest?
Against the hydrocarbon project,
did you distribute pamphlets?
Nope.
Which godman did you speak about
to end up here, my friend?
In support of trans people,
did you protest?
For what reason, comrade?
Untouchability, caste-based
atrocities,
did you fight against those?
Against the Salem eight-lane
expressway,
did you protest, brother?
Why, comrade?
For the Eelam Tamils' cause?
For the freedom of poor Tamils,
did you protest? Why
did they arrest you?
Cha!
Comrade, why did they
arrest you?
I put out a song, sir.
Just for putting out a song?
What kind of song
did you put out?
Very, very bad!
Bad to the core!
Very, very bad!
Bad to the core!
Comrade, what are you doing here?
They picked me up and brought me here
even before you!
Hahahaha!
Khaki uniform,
khaki uniform,
why are you beating us?
Hey khaki uniform,
khaki uniform,
you grab and choke our necks!
For people who are dead and gone,
you unveil statues.
Why do you keep stomping
on us broken people again and again?
Why in the police station
do you run kangaroo courts?
For all the hounds let loose,
you scavenge bone scraps.
To the power-hungry accused,
you bow and serve!
Chorus: You crush and trample us,
is this democracy?
Very, very bad!
Chorus: Very, very bad!
Male: Bad to the core!
Chorus: Bad to the core!
Very, very bad!
Chorus: Oh no...
Male: Bad to the core!
...
The one who committed gang rape
Chorus: rides away in a car!
Male: The man who murdered four people,
I saw him hanging out in a shopping mall!
The ministers who looted
arrive in helicopters!
Chorus: For every scoundrel, there are massive
banners across this town!
To put all of them in the dock,
do you have the guts?
Chorus: You crush and trample us,
is this democracy?
Very, very bad!
Chorus: Very, very bad!
Male: Bad to the core!
Chorus: Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Very, very bad!
Chorus: It's too bad, yeah!
Male: Bad to the core... oar...
Very...
Male: Charge!
Male: Very, very...
Male: Hands up!
Very...
Very, very...
Male: You are under arrest!
The notorious chain snatcher
Chorus: snaps a selfie and posts it!
Male: Even the boss of the hitman gang
feeds you cake!
Chorus: Caste killers of all kinds
hand out free TVs!
Thieves who sell out justice
rip up the penal code!
To drag all of them into the dock,
do you have the guts?
Chorus: You crush and trample us,
is this democracy?
Very, very bad!
Chorus: Very, very... very, very!
Male: Bad to the core!
Chorus: Hey...
Very, very bad!
Bad to the core!
On the land where we sowed,
look how many buildings stand!
You chase us out of our hometown;
where did my share go?
The one who stole our land
Chorus: flies in an airplane!
Male: While our own people curl up in agony,
he opens the jail doors for them!
Chorus: If we dare question it,
he threatens to lock us up under the Goondas Act!
Very, very bad!
Bad to the core!
Very, very bad!
Bad to the core!
Very, very bad...
Khaki...
Khaki...
Khaki uniform!
Hey!

Khaki uniform!
Very, very bad...
Aaa... aa... aa...

Raise your voice!
Speak the truth!
Speak out loud!
Raise your voice!
Speak the truth!
Speak out loud!
