In This World

In this world of them, me and you
Black, violet, yellow and blue
Vindictive lifestyles coming through

1, 2, 3 and 4
Oh hate was hear long before
Ignorance and arrogance take the stage’s fore

A, B, D and C
A blind democracy of privacy
Blood rivers holding our key
Out-staging what’s really to see

Do-re-mi
No one gives a damn about you or me
Fa-so-la
Mothers barter daughters for lobola
Ti-do-ti-la-so-fa-mi-re-do
Opportunities walking out the door

Bah-bah black sheep
Mother earth provides what’s to reap
While the Judases drown us deep
And the Macbeths murder sleep

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How you wonder ever so far
Up above the world’s grand scar
Like fire upon that road of tar

Shoulder, neck, knee and eye
Satan ties his shoes and tie
The last bit of honesty turns into a lie
An eye for an eye, it is you for I
For this tiny piece of bread
For this tiny piece of bread
One of us must die

Eagle, tiger, lion
Soldiers against holy Zion
Up, down, lower, higher
Vampires crave bloody wire
‘civil’ beings crowd hell’s fire
grilled demon vocals, sizzling choir

All year storm, thunder and rain
Ain’t no roof top over the train
Human nature’s gone insane
Every new-born baby boy is Cain

March, April, May
Snow now turns to clay
Our future’s pretty grey
Our toddlers, they need ammunition to play
The bishop thinks it’s too late to pray
Continents say what they feel yet feel not what they say
No knew grounds for our deceased to lay
No hope for tomorrow’s day

Soil, root and tree
Mother earth now needs a fee
No more honey, gone is Mrs Bee
Mocking bird no longer sings for free
Cannibal for cannibal, it’s you for me.
