Sing a Song
Lonnie Gordon Lyrics

Ang pinilakang tabing na sariling atin
The movie screen that was originally ours

Natabunan ng mga telenovela na pinilit lang ang dubbing
Is now obscured by telenovelas that have forced dubbing

Walang palabas at mas madalas mag patalastas
There are no more shows, but more commercials instead

Sa aming telebisyon biglang inisip ko ang aking
On our television, suddenly I thought about my

Kinabukasan na parang inihip lang ng hangin
Future that seems like it was just blown away by the wind

Ako ay pilipino sa isip at sa damdamin
In my thoughts and feelings, I am still a Filipino

Pero bakit ka mahilig sa chinito at chinita
But why do you prefer Chinese men and women?

Dramathon sa hapon kasama si tito at si tita
Afternoon drama marathon with uncle and auntie

At kuya at si ate at katulong na parating natutulog
And brother, sister, and the maid who are always asleep

Pag malapit na maluto ang sinaing
When the rice is almost done cooking

Huminahon ka itay baka ka mabulunan
Hold on, dad, you might choke

Sa laki ng binayad ko wala kong natutunan
Despite paying a lot, I haven't learned anything

Ni kapiranggot mula nung unang baitang
Not even a tiny bit since the first grade

Pumapasok lang ako para mangutang kay maam
I only go to school to borrow money from my teacher

Ng pambili ng kanin, chicken adobo
To buy rice and chicken adobo

Araw-araw ganito nakaka-bobo
Every day like this is so stupid

Lahat nang nakikita ko nakaka-bobo
Everything I see is stupid

Kahit nakapikit ako nakaka-bobo
Even if I close my eyes, it's still stupid

Nakaka, nakaka, nakaka-bobo
It makes you stupid, stupid, stupid

Pulitiko na sa showbiz posible na pala
It's now possible for politicians to cross over to showbiz

Ang dami nang artista sa pulitika pa nga
There are already many actors in politics

Bobo, inutil, walang pinag-aralan
Stupid, useless, uneducated

Hangal, hung-hang sino bang pinagmanahan
Fool, who did you inherit from?

Uto-uto, sunod-sunuran sa kung anong makita ng mata
Gullible, following whatever they see

Upang mapansin ka ng madla
Just to get noticed by the crowd

Para masabi lang na in ka sa mga pormang petmalu
Just to say that you're in the coolest trends

In da loop sa chika chuvanes ke churva eklavu
In the loop with gossips and rumors

Mga chismis na nahuli na nang isang dekada
Gossips that have been outdated for a decade

"richard gomez at lucy torres sila na nga ba?"
"Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres, are they already together?"

Naku itong starlet na ang suso lumabas
Oh this starlet whose breasts are showing

Wag na wag mong ililipat susunod na sa the buzz
Never change the channel, the next show is The Buzz

Wo-wo-wee sinong di mawiwili
Wowowee, who wouldn't be entertained?

Makakakita ka nang mga natapakan sa tv
You will see those who are trampled on TV

Habang kinakain mo yung kanin, chicken adobo
While you eat your rice and chicken adobo

Ayoko ng ganito nakaka-bobo
I don't like this, it's making me stupid

Takot kang magtanong takot kang magpaulit
You're afraid to ask and afraid to repeat

Takot ka ring lumapit sa guro mo na masungit
You're also afraid to approach your grumpy teacher

Kaya pala takot ka magsagot sa pagsusulit
That's why you're scared to answer your exam questions

Kala mo alam mo to kala alam mo yan
Thinking you know this and know that

Kala mo porket tagalog puro lang kabaduyan
Thinking that because it's in Filipino, it's just rubbish

Kala mo porket mahirap ka hanggang dyan ka na lang
Thinking that just because you're poor, you'll just stay like that

Kala mo alam mo na lahat wala ka pang alam
Thinking you know everything when you actually don't

Kasi lahat ng nakikita mo akala mo tama
Because everything you see, you think is correct

Maghapon ka sa tv mo na nakatunganga
Spending all day in front of your TV doing nothing

Nakapangalumbaba simula pa nung bata
It's been mind-numbing since childhood

Di naman importanteng magpakadalubhasa
It's not important to become an expert

Ang sakin lang naman ikaw ay malinawan
For me, I just want you to be enlightened

Wag na wag mong gawing dahilan ang kahirapan
Never let poverty be your reason

Maniwala, pero wag umasa sa himala
Believe, but don't rely on miracles

Wala pang nananalo sa lotto na di tumataya
No one has won the lotto without betting

Kaya palayain mo ang utak mong nakakulong
So, free your mind that's imprisoned

Mas masahol pa sa bobo ang bobo nagmarunong
Those who pretend to know everything are worse than the ignorant

Kung ang pag-iisip para sayoy nakakangawit
If thinking makes you feel exhausted

Ibenta mo ang utak mo kung di mo ginagamit
Sell your brain if you're not using it

Wag kang magalit kung laman ng bao ay ampao
Don't be angry if the content of the bag is just rice cake

Pilipino lang ako pag nananalo si pacquiao
I'm Filipino only when Pacquiao wins

Pag narinig ko yung kanin, chicken adobo
When I hear about rice and chicken adobo

Nakaka-indak kahit nakaka-bobo
It makes me dance even if it makes me stupid

Nakaka-bobo Nakaka, nakaka, nakaka-bobo
It makes you stupid, stupid, stupid
