Earl of Sandwich
Legend has it
Born out of laziness and necessity
You ordered a ham between two slices of bread
If only you knew the glory of your creation
Now out of hunger and starvation
Bad equality and desperation
We the Lebanese people are in stagnation
Cornered stuck between death and sublimation
Which choice will prevail and offer salvation
Earl of Sandwich
An earldom is a meager appreciation
A duckedom more in consideration
For the services you provided the nation
We the Lebanese people on the verge of initiation
Into a role of dying on the cross or living our aspiration
Earl of Sandwich
I know how gloomy is our situation
We took to the streets out of retaliation
Yet I cannot but hope in a new generation
Vascilating between striving or resignation
With no clear cut decision
