Baliktad na ang Mundo
MusikangBayan Lyrics

Mataas na bundok ngayo'y patag
What used to be a tall mountain is now a flat land

Disyerto na ang masukal na gubat
What used to be a lush forest is now a desert

Taglamig ay tag-init, Tag-ulan ay tag-araw
Winter is now summer, Rainy season is now sunny

Ano ba ito ang gulo gulo ang gulo gulo
What is this confusion and chaos

Baliktad na ang mundo
The world is upside down

Mga kriminal ang malaya, Ang nakakulong walang sala
Criminals are free, While the innocent are imprisoned

Ang tama ay mali, Ang masama'y mabuti
What is right is wrong, What is wrong is right

Sinungaling ang pinaniniwalaan, Magnanakaw ang pinagtitiwalaan
Liars are believed, Thieves are trusted

Sa lipunang ito, Sila'y pinararangalan
In this society, They are being honored

May mamang bugbog sarado, Hawak ng pulis sa braso
An innocent person beaten up, Held by the police

Siya'y sumisigaw, Humihingi ng saklolo
He is screaming, Asking for help

Mamamatay tao'y pinupuri, Ang mga biktima'y sinisisi
Killers are praised, Victims are blamed

Ang naagrabyado, Sinasampahan ng kaso
The victim is being charged

Matuwid ay nasa impyerno, Baluktot ay nasa palasyo
The righteous are in hell, The crooked are in the palace

Anghel nang tumakbo, Halimaw nang maupo
An angel running, A monster sitting

At minsa'y nagsimba ang demonyo, Lumuhod pumikit parang santo
Sometimes the devil goes to church, Kneels and closes his eyes like a saint

Matapos magdasal, Nagmano kay Obispo
After praying, He bows to the bishop

Ang mandaraya ay parehas, At ang dagdag ay bawas
The cheater is equal, And the addition is subtraction

Panalo ang talo, Ang peke'y ginawang totoo
Losing is winning, The fake is made to appear real

Taksil ang ginagawang huwaran, Bayani ang pinarurusahan
Traitors are made role models, Heroes are punished

Sa halip na Pilipino, Tsino at kano ang amo
Instead of Filipinos, Chinese and Americans are the bosses

Galit sa kurap at magnanakaw, At lagi pa niyang minumura
He hates corruption and thieves, and he constantly curses them

Ngunit sa mga Marcos, Ay todo suporta
But when it comes to the Marcoses, He fully supports them

At matapos palayain si Arroyo, Drug lord na umamin inabsuwelto
And after releasing Arroyo, A drug lord who confessed was acquitted

Utak sa pork barrel scam, Ay naging testigo
The mastermind of the pork barrel scam became a witness

Ekonomiya ay sumusulong, Ang mamamaya'y nagugutom
The economy is progressing, But the people are still hungry

Ang ayaw sa droga, Sabog kung magsalita
Those who are against drugs, Are intoxicated when they speak

Baliktad na ang mundo
The world is upside down
