trouble in africa
There is fire running down the mountain
And nobody seem to care about it
There is fire running down the mountain top
And nobody seem to care about it
I wake up early in the morning
I put on my TV and
I see the killing of innocent children
And everybody's is standing and watching
I open up my door and
I see an army of soldiers
Marching across my steeth
I said id to the soldier
Why are you fighting for another man's cause
And you don't even know him
I also asked him for
his conscience and reason
Could it be love for your country
Or for the gun you use in killing
Hey Mr. solider man
Can I have a word with you
Cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse
And you don't know what you do
So you say you have a lover
And you love her like no other
So you buy her a diamond
That someone has died on
Don't you think there's something wrong with this?
Tell me who's responsible
For what we teach our children?
Is it the internet?
Or the stars on television?
Hey Mr. solider man
Life is not about your policies all the all
So better rearrange your philosophy and be
Good to your fellow human
