A Simple Day In Africa
A SIMPLE DAY IN AFRICA
Blame the white
For the books in school
Blame the white
For the traffic rules
Blame the white
For Round house now square
Blame yourself
for a land unfair
White men left
They have packed and gone
White men left
Now tribes on their own
White men left
Now its knives not guns
Now the hate
spreads with springtime sun
tribal wars
shake the dusty skies
tribal hate
glares in every eye
baby schools
gather tribe by tribe
break the rules
and you’re vilified
