The politician's mouth has two edges
Like Esimuda's sword
It is murder both ways

Is it not the politician
Who sees a snake
and hails an earthworm
he prostrates for a vote
But his mind squats like a hungry dog

Alas, a thin membrance covers the belly
We cannot see inside of a lying wolf
When the man of power
tells you his tale
ask him to wait till
You bring a sieve,

Whosoever believes what the politician says
his ears is blocked by the carcass of truth.

A politician tells you to wait
and you heed his words
ah!friend,
your soul will tell you
the the bitting pains of folly

The politician has two mouths
Both sharp like the white man's razor.
