Lyrics
Well the Taliban they run the country From the north of Wazirstan They make a few of their people happy They don't care about the rest of them
They've got a system just like Apartheid They keep women in subjection Maybe Malala will make them all see How everybody could live as one...
She gives me hope...
I hear they get all the Saudi money To buy new weapons in the shape of guns While every mother in Pakistan fears The killing of another son
Sneaking across of the neighbors borders Now and again having little fun They don't care if the fun and games they play Are dangerous to everyone...
She gives me hope...
They have supporter in higher places Who turn their heads to the city sun And they given them the fancy money To tempt anyone who come
They even know how to swing opinion On every channel of the media For every bad move that these extremists make They got a good explanation….
She gives me hope...
Even the Sufis who work for onness And abstain from violence Together say that the peoples power will Overcome the very strong
I wanna know if you're blind Taliban If you wanna hear the sound of drums Can't you see that the tide is turning Don't make me wait till the morning comes
