PAy Per View (Reprise 05/2006)
Oxbridge trained and Wall Street smartened,
L. K. Wise and I. S. Ardent,
Singapore's Old Guard ages faster.
Now we have a different master
Who just as ably clings to power,
Seeking to prolong his hour
On the stage, as he well knows:
Same Old Guard in different hose.
And opposition politics
He knows precisely how to fix
And in words of immortal note
Ponders how to buy our vote.
Still, the Old Man will not retire
Until Death at last puts out his fire.
We the people dare hardly wait:
Before he dies, emigrate.
