Well the news keeps saying there’s a global recession Everybody soon is gonna feel a depression Well you’d think by now we’d have learned our lesson Bubble in the past means trouble in the present
It’s the same old story in a different age Same old master with a different slave I’m telling you at the end of the day It’s the same ones getting paid Same ones getting paid Same old people getting paid
Well I’m sick of all the people who lie Telling me that freedom and democracy are tied up with the Freedom of markets In which we’ve imparted the Power to control our lives And I’m sick of all the people who steal Money from the poor just to make a new deal Thinking of the profit they’re making While the poor keep on scraping The money just to make their next meal
And I’m sick of all the people who say That’s just the way it is I’m just complaining cos I’m not the one getting paid And I’m sick of all the people who know Well they know what is going on Still they just carry on Doing the same as before Doing the same as before Doing the same as before
Salia, nao Salia Kora bato be kumala Nao nao salia Djun djun bato be kumala Nao nao salia
Well I feel like we’re living in an age of flounders Nobody rattling the cage around us For fear of the enemy they say surround us When the enemy within is the most profound and it’s the Same old story in a different age Same old villain with a different face I’m telling you at the end of the day It’s the same game being played Same war being waged Same old people getting paid
Well I’m sick of all the crooked politicians Defending their position that by selling ammunition They somehow make the world more secure As if bloodshed and war Were the tonic for our global condition And I’m sick of all the people who steal Money from the poor just to make a new deal Thinking of the profit they’re making While the poor keep on scraping The money just to make their next meal
And I’m sick of all the people who say That’s just the way it is I’m just complaining cos I’m not the one getting paid And I’m sick of all the people who know Well they know what is going on Still they just carry on Doing the same as before Doing the same as before Doing the same as before
Salia, nao Salia Kora bato be kumala Nao nao salia Djun djun bato be kumala Nao nao salia
