Saffron Ablaze

Namaste
Welcome to the land of hysteria
Or as we like to call it, Incredible India
Where the leaders aren't credible
Most are criminals
Where if you say a word you see the crowds lynching ya
Are you wincing yet? Are you flinching yet?
Must I mention a kid got raped in a temple then
Was drugged and murdered then dumped in a jungle
Covered by nothing but the papers a week later and it is evident
This country runs on hate
That girl was barely 8
Covered up evidence
Police's hand in it
Religious sentiments
Couldn't bury the dead
You the see the problem yet?
Do you see the problem yet?

My country's up in flames
And the flames look saffron
Sentiments ablaze in the haze of violence
No free speech, just days of silence
No beef with the government or seek an asylum
Man, it is scary to see how crazy people can be
Out on the streets protecting the rapists, no solidarity

They told me not to say what I'm saying motherfucker but I had to
Do what is right and take a stand when you have to
Ashamed to be a man when you know what a fellow man do
In the name of God that he killed like he planned to

They say don't mix crime and religion into politics
But I see politicians profiting off that rotten shit
Inciting violence and riots, communal flames are lit
Igniting fires of insecurity till vote banks are filled
This country runs on hate
Swacch Bharat, clean the slate
Ethnic cleansing on its way
Liberals, enemies of the state
Minorities, stay in your place
History can be changed in a day
Fascism on a plate
Long live the government

My country's up in flames
And the flames look saffron
Sentiments ablaze in the haze of violence
No free speech, just days of silence
No beef with the government or seek an asylum
Man, it is scary to see how crazy people can be
Out on the streets protecting the killers of our democracy

Don't let the governed vent
Servents should stay subservient
Urban Naxals and deviants
Anti-national comedians
Must ensure the obedience and
Must take hold of the medias
Effect's almost immediate
Intent deeply insidious

They told me not to say what I'm saying motherfucker but I had to
Do what is right and take a stand when you have to
Ashamed to be a man when you know what a fellow man do
In the name of God that he killed like he planned to
