Who is the puppeteer, who the clown?
*Dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dab dab durah*
Who is the puppeteer, who the clown?
I mistook the one upon the throne for king,
And played the fool, a mere card's shadow flung.
*Dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dab dab durah*
Who is the puppeteer, who the clown?
He promised service, then devoured the feast,
Devoured the feast, oh, devoured the feast.
He crowned himself, and made me pawn, a beast,
A pawn he made, a pawn he made of me.
Don't rage, my heart, nor snarl upon yourself,
You were the simpleton, who gave him the trump.
*Dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dab dab durah*
Who is the puppeteer, who the clown?
*Dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dab dab durah*
Who is the puppeteer, who the clown?
The people are the instrument, their chant the key,
Their chant the key, the people are the key.
The people are the king, the subject, puppeteer, and clown,
This land is free, this nation stands unbound.
I must now complete each task left undone,
Let none now sway, by power's poisoned sun.
*Dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dab dab durah*
Who is the puppeteer, who the clown?
*Dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dhitang, dab dab durah*
Who is the puppeteer, who the clown?
