I'll be staying indoors on the 27th [of Khordad 1384, June 17th 2005]
I won't go out wearing the burden of the mullahs' oppression
I'm tired of giving these clerics a chance
I'm staying far away from the ballot box this time
I Won't Go! I Won't Vote!

I won't vote for your disgraceful regime.
Nor will I vote for your gloomy supreme leader.
I won't support the perdition of innocent kids.
So as long as there's a breath in my lungs, you won't get my vote!
I won't vote for thieves and parasites or a slate of ghouls!

I won't go out wearing the burden of the mullahs' oppression,
I'm staying far away from the ballot box this time!
I won't go out wearing the burden of the mullahs' oppression,
I'm staying far away from the ballot box this time!
I Won't Go! I Won't Vote!

I won't support waste and corruption,
Nor will I vote for drug-dealers and illiterate clerics.
I won't vote for a handful of greedy gobs;
I'm not going to vote for blatant misdeeds or theocratic rule!

I won't vote for Rafsenjani or Velayati, either!
I won't vote the worthless into power!
I won't vote for Karroubi that absentee cleric!
I won't vote for injustice!
I won't vote for those who kill with whips and stones!

I won't go out wearing the burden of the mullahs' oppression,
I'm staying far away from the ballot box this time!
I won't go out wearing the burden of the mullahs' oppression,
I'm staying far away from the ballot box this time!
I Won't Go! I Won't Vote!

You Shouldn't Either
