Kung Alam Mo Lang Violy
Wala nang trapik sa kalye
Efficient ang bureaucracy
Bumaba na ang poverty
Restored na ang democracy
Ang buhay natin nag-improve
Dahil ang GATT ay na-approve
Ang buhay natin gumanda
Dahil ang EVAT napasa
Kung alam mo lang Violy
Kung alam mo lang Violy
Kung alam mo lang Violy ang totoo
Kung alam mo lang Violy
Kung alam mo lang Violy
Matagal ka na nilang niloloko
Dumadami ang may kotse
Dito sa university
Tumataas ang tuition fee
Bumababa ang quality
Forget na lang the land reform
Forget the debt moratorium
Forget na rin the behest loan
But don't forget the condom
Oy alam ko na Eddie
Oy alam ko na Eddie
Oy alam ko na Eddie ang totoo
Oy alam ko na Eddie
Oy alam ko na Eddie
Matagal mo na kaming niloloko

Tres mil na passport at ID
Tres mil sa visa't embassy
Tres mil na special placement fee
Singkwenta mil na pangkape
Kung alam mo lang Violy...
Si Violy ay inabuso
Ng malupit niyang amo
Si Violy ay nagkakaso
Pinagtanggol ng gobyerno
Natural, natalo
At napugutan ng ulo
Si Violy ay inilibing
Malaon nang nahihimbing
Si Violy ay huminlay na
Ngunit hinukayhukay pa
Kung alam mo lang Violy...
Gumaganda't umuusad
Daw ang ating economy
Dahil sa dami ng tulad
Na kwentong gaya kay Violy
Tuloy-tuloy ang pag-unlad
Ng ating movie industry
Kung alam mo lang Violy
Kung alam mo lang Violy
Kung alam mo lang Violy ang totoo
Kung alam mo lang Violy
Kung alam mo lang VIoly
Kayrami na nilang kinita sa iyo
If You Only Knew Violy
No more traffic on the street
Bureaucracy is efficient
Poverty has decreased
Democracy has been restored
Our lives have improved
Because GATT has been approved
Our lives have become better
Because EVAT has been passed
If you only knew Violy
If you only knew Violy
If you only knew Violy the truth
If you only knew Violy
If you only knew Violy
They've been fooling you for a long time
The number of cars is increasing
Here at the university
Tuition fees are rising
Quality is decreasing
Just forget about the land reform
Forget the debt moratorium
Also forget the behest loan
But don't forget the condom
Hey, I know Eddie
Hey, I know Eddie
Hey, I know Eddie the truth
Hey, I know Eddie
Hey, I know Eddie
You've been fooling us for a long time
Three thousand for passport and ID
Three thousand for visa and embassy
Three thousand for special placement fee
Fifty thousand for coffee
If you only knew Violy...
Violy was abused
By her cruel employer
Violy filed a case
Defended by the government
Naturally, she lost
And got her head cut off
Violy was buried
Long been resting
Violy laid to rest
But dug up again
If you only knew Violy...
Our economy is improving
They say it's progressing
Because of the many stories
Like Violy's
Progress continues
In our movie industry
If you only knew Violy
If you only knew Violy
If you only knew Violy the truth
If you only knew Violy
If you only knew Violy
They've earned a lot from you
