说了再建（HDB组屋）

献给PAP领袖们的歌。。。

写词方面蛮难的。。。要找出能融入原曲而能最清楚的描述你们的成就真的花了几天的时间。尤其是，我的中文一向都不是很好。但，能赶在大选前，希望你们能抽空欣赏喔！

Also, I hope every fellow Singaporean can enjoy this meaningful song! (ignore my vocal if it's hurting ur ears!)

cheers~!

edit: some ppl asked for lyrics... sure, here goes:

限量的屋价格太贵了
清楚的国人买不起了
失业者在海边上睡觉了

想要房,房不掉泪在飘
你看看你看看不到
还假装自己很重要
解决问题你办不到

说了再建才发现
再也骗不了
国不能就这样
失去她的方向
错了还在说教
成绩却找不到
和外劳对调
你说好不好

说了再建才发现
再也骗不了
能不能就这样
保证薪水不掉
说要给我养老
公积金哪里找
再次投票
一份配套就到

你的笑 你的好
老百姓 一直在劳
我回首 忘不了你错的程度
薪水称第一
你不会良心睡不觉
相信国民们无力逃跑

Took me some time to brainstorm for right words to rythme like original song and yet say wat i wanna say. vocal part, err... dun expect too much! haha... me no professional!

edit: dear fellow english speaking Singaporean, apologies for the late translation. I did not actually translate word for word but instead, convey each line's meaning below. Enjoy and I really hope we can make Singapore a better place, not just for us now, but our future generations!

[1] Housing, with such limited supply, is now way too expensive
Clearly, the citizen can no longer afford it
The jobless are now sleeping at the beach

[2] Many wanted a house, but prices didn't fall, tears did instead
You can't even see these things happening
and yet, still pretend that you are so important to us
When in fact, you can't even solve any problems

[3] You announced you're going to build more (HDB flats),
but realized that we are not going to be fooled again.
A Country simply cannot afford to lose its direction like this!
After making mistakes, you still dare preach to us,
and not even producing any results.
Now, why don't we also replace you with foreign workers, how about that?

[4] You announced you're going to build more (HDB flats),
but realized that we are not going to be fooled again.
Can you even guarantee that that our income do not fall?
Said it's for my retirement when I grow old,
but where are my CPF now?
When election comes though,
a (Grow & Share) package suddenly arrives

*Repeat [1], [2], [3]

Look at your smile, and how well you are,
The common people however, have to toil continuously
I look back and simply cannot forget the extent of your mistakes
With that salary that claims world number 1,
Your conscience has no difficultly sleeping soundly at night,
believing that the people are incapable of escaping from your clutches

*Repeat [4]

新加坡人民做出他们的选择了，我真的无话可说。

[nikandnana]

You are such a fabulous lyricist! 3 thumbs up!!! And you sang it yourself? Wow! ...are you not a Singaporean? (since the people who ruled the country said Singapore has no talent).

[MrMshc]

@nikandnana Yup, sang myself. I am born here, served army, work here, pay tax... yes, i am Singaporean. So are my parents & grandparents ;-)

[heatherngain]

“和外劳对调

你说好不好”LOLLOL

[MrMshc]

@heatherngain yup, since they r singing praise of them, why not be role model show us how it's to be done.

[MrMshc]

@123amyng 和那一国比？印尼？越南？印度？如果我们的国家目标是这些国家的­话，就那这些来比吧。如果我们的目标是欧洲，美国，日本等强国，­该比的地方也不一样。无论如何，我从没说过身为一个新加坡人是一­个不幸。我也觉得生长在喜欢和平的新加坡人的环境里是一个福气。­但，这不表示该批评的，该纠正的，该进步的，我们不能站出来说话­。Gratitude is not servitude. 嗨，见仁见智，每人都有他心中的价值观和看法， 对吗？
