shut down the TASMAC,
shut it down
dont wait in vain for the elections, shut it down now
shut down the TASMAC,
shut it down
how many kids should perish
how many women should lose home
how many women should lose home
how many elections till / will you wait
how many elections till / will you wait
shut it down – now, Its evil – you know, shut it down.
shut down the TASMAC,
shut it down
liquor to gather crowd
liquor to garner votes
liquor to garner votes
liquor to shout their slogans
liquor to hold their flags
liquor to hold their flags
parties you know, grow in the brew
YOU, my love, are the side dish in their electoral game.
you are the side dish in their electoral game.
come on, you only need a big lock
not a vote
to shut this evil down
shut down the TASMAC,
shut it down
father a drunkard, together the son, also in the bar.
for the woman the menfolk is useless
the menfolk is useless
life drowning in sea of debts
honour auctioned in streets
honour auctioned in streets
You think they give us freebies?
they squeeze our lives as price
(கோரஸ்) they squeeze our lives as price
life’s light is gone, darkness drowns our homes
curse on the lady
shut down the TASMAC,
shut it down
Ruined are our lives
Broken are our homes
Broken are our homes
Fire in our bellies
who invited this hell here
who invited this hell here
out the liquor shops, ours is this village – and
who is the collector to decide?
shut down the TASMAC,
shut it down
The state is raged against you – don’t plead
the police may pounce upon you – don’t fear
down the shutters
who will stop us?
no tasmac here, in this village, anymore
shut it down.
