Who does he think he is - Caesar?
He is a stubborn old man and a despot leader
Mubarak Mubarak go away and don't come back another day - that is what I hear them say….
After 30 years of dictatorship
The people have gathered in their hundreds of thousands
In Cairo’s Tahrir Square they are voicing their opposition
Against the hated regime that is leading their beloved nation
Mubarak Mubarak go away and don’t come back another day - that is what I hear them say….
One of the richest men in the world, he has gold-lined pockets
Gained through corruption and billions of foreign aid from the USA
Whilst 40 million of his people are living on less than two dollars a day
Mubarak Mubarak go away and don’t come back another day - that is what I hear them say….
In this land of the ancient Pharaohs the Egyptians deserve much better
But will they ever manage to overthrow this dictator
Mubarak Mubarak go away and don’t come back another day - that is what I hear them say….
In this age of 24-hour news, the internet and social media
The global village has seen it all
Peaceful protesting, lootings, shootings, blood and fatalities
Surely he can’t ignore their anger anymore?
Mubarak Mubarak go away and don’t come back another day - that is what I hear them say….
This is the realistic face of people power
Rioting on the streets for revolution
Surely he has to go to silence this chaotic situation?
Mubarak Mubarak go away and don’t come back another day - that is what I hear them say….
Dare we believe there can be a brighter and better future for Masr
This magnificent and historic land
Where the Great Pyramids - one of the Seven Wonders of the World
Was built 5 millennium by the hand of man
Mubarak Mubarak go away and don’t come back another day - that is what I hear them say….
What will happen if Mubarak stays? - I hope the people will have the final say…
Mubarak Mubarak go away and don’t come back another day - that is what I hear them say…
