As Lebanon prepares for its first parliamentary elections in nine years, many citizens are hoping the elections will result in sweeping changes to the status quo.
They are simply fed up with the same political class that has been running the country for decades, as these rulers are widely believed to be sinking the public further into a cycle of debt, corruption, and violence.
With the country's future at stake, a recently-released satirical song perfectly sums up why voters should make an educated decision and challenge the norm.
Performed and written by the Keserwany sisters Michelle and Noel, the song is titled "Men3id w Men3id", which translates to "we repeat again and again", and it directly addresses people who continue to blindly follow mainstream political parties.
The song urges voters to make a difference on May 6
The duo shared the music video on Facebook last week, with a caption that read, "We've been stuck in a loop for a long time. It's time to move forward. Let's vote".
They added that the video is "a collaboration of artists/friends with the same vision", including actress and director Nadine Labaki and music composer Khaled Mouzanar.
Featuring the sisters' hallmark lyrical sarcasm and compelling visuals, the music video highlights politicians' empty promises on one hand and their many shortcomings on another.
Citing the tax hike, soaring unemployment rates, Lebanon's infamous trash crisis, corruption, among other problems, the song urges voters to make a difference on May 6.
The song reminds us politicians are no strangers to being two-faced
"They met up to agree on remaining at odds."
All the while sinking us deeper into the pit
"T for TVA that was discretely increased."
"They lived happily ever after, with their salaries being renewed forever and ever"
A message to all those planning on re-electing the current political class
"Here's to every citizen who called for reform, but they (politicians) gave him a gas coupon, so he voted for them again."
Who are the Keserwany sisters?
The crowd's favorites both have Masters degrees in Advertising and work as freelancers in the creative field.
They first grabbed attention when Michelle Keserwany shared her first single "Jagal el USEK", which has amassed over one million views on YouTube.
After the "accidental success" of her first song, Michelle teamed up with her sister and the two began producing music videos that showcase their sarcastic take on pressing issues, from politics to women's rights.
