Sing a Different Song

Sing a different song The neighborhood rotting by day Air not fresh like was years back Green nature gone and not to cattle’s belly That’s why I will sing a different song The young no longer stands for the old Fumes oozing from nostrils is their norm Ladies nakedness now a stripping business daily That’s why I will sing a different song The leaders need new memos not written speeches They read maybe they too don’t understand anymore Money cant buy character maybe seminars will do That’s why I will sing a different song My learned pals are gone to white man’s palace Their wealth and education, now a waste to society Scared they will be reaped apart by the hungry society That’s why I will sing a different song The northern region, the NGOs hub growing Dying, hungry and fighting each other Someone should preach peace louder than the aid That’s why I will sing a different song Its been said before but wonder who listened This I press again, the walls not yet full Your space still empty for all have to unite Lets fight the dragons and sing a different song
