You Don'T Want To Go Down There

you don't want to go down there 
           Have you been there 
          Yes there where the politicians
          Are shooting killing and   
          Fighting                   
          I know you don't want to go       
          Down there 
          Yeah you don't want to go   
           Down there 

You don't want to go down there 
Down there the place so famous
Down there the place so dejected 
Down there the place so scattered
Do you want to go down there 
Down there where all is to be is death 
Down there where hell is on earth (ghetto)
Do you want to go down there
Yeah I know you don't want to go 
Down there 

          Have you been down there 
           Yes there where politicians 
           Are shooting killing and
           Fighting 
          I know you don't want to go 
          Down there
         Yeah you don't want to go 
         Down there 

You don't want to go down there 
Down there so polluted 
Down there full of corruption 
Down there so hard 
Do you want to go down there 
Down there where hunger kills
Down there where jails are full of 
Criminal as said 
Down there so hot 
Do you want to go down there 
Yeah I know you don't want to go down there 

           Have you been down there 
            Yes there where politicians
           Are shooting killing and
           Fighting 
          I know you don't want to go
           Down there 
         Yeah you don't want to
          Go down there 

You don't want to go down there 
Down there so terrible 
They say 
Down there so horrible 
Their media portray Africa 
Down there so dangerous 
They show to their innocent people
So now none want to go down 
There so bad 
Do you want to go down there 
Yeah I know you don't want to go 
Down there 
 
          Have you been down there 
          Down there where politician
          Are shooting killing and 
         Fighting 
          I know you don't want to go 
          Down there 
        Yeah you don't want to go 
        Down there
