A Song For Malaysians

Focus & Lift couldn't sit still and let all the commotion pass through, silently. While reading Malaysia Today recently, I can't help but to tell myself how naive I have been. I never bothered anything about politics. But as more negative headlines of Malaysia reaching the international bay, I couldn't keep quiet anymore.

I'm an irresponsible citizen. I did not practice my rights and duty as to register to vote and vote. I thought Malaysia would slowly heal and times would improve, but in fact the opposite is happening and I deeply regret as to I being one of the cause to this result. I'm going to register myself to vote, and hell yes I'm voting for PR. Thank you RPK for giving a hard kick on my face to wake me up. I can't stand the crap that our government is slowly eating up our money for the development of this country. Look at Singapore? Enough said indeed.

As to the song, its basically an old song by Robbie Williams named "No Regrets". Below is basically the altered lyrics for Malaysians!


Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not enstranged

I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...

No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

I know from the outside
We looked good for each other
Felt things were going wrong
When you guys took over

I don't want to hate but that's
All you've left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
How we all could live

No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
(We've been told you all are corrupted)
I know they're still talking
(You're far too "short" to lead this country)
The demons in your head
(Return the money that you've all taken)
If I could just stop hating you
(Goodbye)
I'd feel sorry for all of us instead

Remember the photographs (insane)
The ones where we all laugh (so lame)
We were having the time of our lives
Well thank you it was a real blast

No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Write me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

Everything I wanted to be every
Time I walked away
Everytime you all propose a new project
I just felt so broke
Every time you looked at us and
Everytime you smiled
I felt so offended as you treat us like fools
I loved the way Malaysia used to be
I loved the way we used to smile
Often we mix around and think of our future
For a while
Then it passes by me and I think of
The current government holding Malaysia hostage
I guess the trust we once had is
Officially dead!
