In the middle of the world,
where all hopes seems lost,
where voice connot be hear,
where rights are infringed on,
where there's no hope for commoners,
where the leaders gabbling to cover corruption.

In the middle of the world,
stumble all days.
Fear gives no chance to rest,
life challenge make us move on.
We cried out our voices,
alone we feel all the pains.

In the middle of the world,
the world full of war,
looters are crowned.
commoners suffer to bring food,
the richs are the guest.
understand we don't, conundrum all spheres.

In the middle of the world,
mendacious full the act,
bigger oppress the small,
make panic swallower of dreams.
mobocracy but we hail democracy,
not kakistocracy, we cried for democracy.

In the middle of the world,
snooping around the corners,
hanging around the streets,
sleeping around the streets,
nothing to offer the streets,
we're own by the street.
