ECONOMIC INFLATION AND MORAL BANKRUPTCY

When a five hundred rupee note

Is the equivalent of less than a ten dollar bill

And a hundred rupee note

Is just slightly more than a one dollar bill.

Then it is time for us to take note

When a five hundred rupee note

Can only purchase what a hundred rupee note once did

When a hundred rupee note

Can only purchase what a twenty rupee note once did

Then it is time to reduce the things we once bought

Then we know we are ruled by inefficient

and corrupt leaders, honey

Who have benefited from inflation so deficient

that it has eaten away our money

leaving the people in misery

while the leaders continue to be greedy

and the nation by usury is brought to penury

to finally dissolve in insolvency
