“The Cursed Land” played by Homay, might be the most controversial song to be aired on Iran television in the last 40 years, which forced the presenters, and officials of Channel 4 of the Islamic Republic of Iran Television to apologize and it almost led to the closure of the network!
For those who are unaware of TV programs in Iran, the country television network has 4 main channels and every province has a state channel as well. that are all completely under the surveillance of the Iranian authorities, and all news, programs, etc. … are under full control and no one is allowed to say a single word against the Iranian regime there.
To illustrate the severity of this surveillance, let me give you an example: A while ago, a woman host was banned from Iran TV. The reason for her dismissal was because she had invited an expert on a live TV program and the guest of the program as an expert had encouraged people to "Dance at home" to be happy and healthy !
According to what was said, Homay's song, which was broadcast on television, aroused a lot of anger and was like a tiny light that penetrated cleverly and miraculously from behind a dark fence.
Television Performance!

Lyrics:
It is as if our ancestors… have cursed this land;
For as long as I can remember,
sadness and mourn have been here
We are the played generation;
They'd set fire to our feathers…
Kings with the fireworks of deceit and tyranny
The losers of the game of power chess;
Is our generation…
We’d checkmated (lost) at the end of the game,
No wonder! It is like we were born checked (ready to lose)!
Drown in floods and wars; Or under the rubble and rocks!
It is as if our ancestors… have cursed this land;
I sympathize with you comrade;
Do not stab me in the back!
No one but us can ever help our pain
The day will come;
While we are not here anymore
But happiness will take the place of sadness in our faces…
Some day…
