ABBA Week, Day 6: Cheating Gloria (Song dedicated to a certain Gloria and sung to the tune of “Chiquitita”[1])

By Siesta-friendly

Cheating Gloria, you are what’s wrong
Policies of greed and torture
In your hands there is no hope for the future
How we hate to suffer like this
Even if you always deny it
We all know economy is down the toilet

Cheating Gloria, we know the truth
Bribing people to protect you
Your best friend, is the one who gets most from you
You were always sure of yourself
Breaking laws left, right and whenever
We need you out so we can get our act together

Cheating Gloria, you and I know
How the powers come and they go and you’ll soon be leaving
You’ll be drinking to your end and our pain will end
We will make no time for grieving
Cheating Gloria, making us cry
With our money paying your debt and making us poorer
Let me hear you lie once more like you did before
Fake a data, Cheating Gloria
Lie once more like you did before
Spin your data, Cheating Gloria

When the walls come tumbling down
And our nation’s still the 3^rd world
All are gone and I’m sure you’re in the 1^st world
Cheating Gloria, we know the truth
Even if you always deny it
We all know economy is down the toilet

Cheating Gloria, you and I know
How the powers come and they go and you’ll soon be leaving
It’s too long ‘til 2010 when our pain will end
Until then we’ll be always grieving
Cheating Gloria, making us cry
Activists and journalists die, we’re crying for justice
Let me hear you lie once more like you did before
Propaganda, Cheating Gloria
Lie once more like you did before
Your agenda, Cheating Gloria
Lie once more like you did before
Who’ll believe ya, Cheating Gloria?
