Keep looting! O Ten Percent
When you are done, we let you go
Since, between you and us
There is an NRO
Keep looting! O Ten Percent
But how much do you need?
Swiss, dubai, surrey, bambino
Thine unbounded greed
Keep looting! O Ten Percent
You are Hurr and brave
But shall you bribe the angle
When you fall in your grave
Keep looting! O Ten Percent
But, we did always wonder,
How much will satiate you,
How much will you plunder,
Keep looting! O Ten Percent
Green land has no dearth
Let Quaid’s Soul wonder
What turned green as hearth?
Keep looting! O Ten Percent
We fully know your greed’s
But don’t embarrass the fallen heroes
You are not legacy of “Shaheeds”
