This Independence Day...Set It Free...
I am me and you are you....
I am an Indian, and who are you?...
You are the rich and i am the poor....
You have some great karma for sure....
Oh boy, it's the luck that i seriously lack....
While you have money stacked up in black.....
Set it free...
You are a man and I am a woman......
Your birth is celebrated while I become the bad omen......
You are safe and free to roam......
But before the night strikes, i have to reach home......
Set it free.....
You try to divide and rule, and I am being made the fool...
You are playing and i am being played.....
You target the cast, creed, region and even the religion that i devote .....
You try everything to cash on my vote ......
Set it free.....
You break the law and i abide......
You love taking law for a ride.....
Sometimes, even crushing a few sleeping by the roadside.......
I shout cruelty......
And you say innocent until proven guilty......
What a stupidity.....
Set it free.......
You are the classy and i am the chaprasi....
You are the star with all the glitter....
Flashing the headlights, and roads to litter......
I clean up your trash and bear your rage and you tell me, “keep the change”.....
Set it free...
You are straight and i am not.....
Equality is an idea you never bought.....
But i know how to make things even.....
Remember section 377?.....
I have set it free.....
And it’s time to set free once more.......
Things that you deeply adore.......
Autocracy, mediocracy, idiocracy and hypocrisy....
Just some of your fantasies.......
And i too have one .....
To own a place like no one......
A place where I can be me and you can be you......
Where you don’t judge me and I don't judge you......
A place to stay keeping the prejudices at bay......
A place like the morning sun ray.....
A place like having a beautiful idea.....
A place i call my India....
Set it free......
