lyrics
Oh, Hunger is an old friend of mine, we sit and we toe the breadline
The sun doesn't brighten our days, we don't even feel the weekend
One day a thought occurred to me - I'd have to leave the continent
I asked my friend and he agreed; one day we'll go our separate ways
Oh, what they'd have us believe
Oh, what they'd have us FORGET
you'd think I'm overqualified, didn't need a degree to do this
Fast foods or nursing the elderly, that's not how I imagined England
They despise the fact that I exist, I guess it stands to reason
'os I'm a reminder of history, I hurt their proud position
Oh, what they'd have us believe
oh, what they'd have us forget
Rich Man asks Poor Man
"When will you pay your debt?"
Poor Man answers Rich Man
"Forever, 'til my death"
And it's not so differen now (Greed)
Change?
You said that you wanted to change?
Nothing's changed
Rich Man asks Poor Man
"Why do you steal from me?"
Poor Man answers Rich Man
"How did you think I lived?"
And it's not so differen now (Greed)
Change?
You said that you wanted to change?
Nothing's changed
And so I look in to your eyes
And I see that
I'm staring in to the eyes of death
Oh my beautiful Africa
The sun doesn't brighten our days, we don't even feel the weekend
One day a thought occurred to me - I'd have to leave the continent
I asked my friend and he agreed; one day we'll go our separate ways
Oh, what they'd have us believe
Oh, what they'd have us FORGET
you'd think I'm overqualified, didn't need a degree to do this
Fast foods or nursing the elderly, that's not how I imagined England
They despise the fact that I exist, I guess it stands to reason
'os I'm a reminder of history, I hurt their proud position
Oh, what they'd have us believe
oh, what they'd have us forget
Rich Man asks Poor Man
"When will you pay your debt?"
Poor Man answers Rich Man
"Forever, 'til my death"
And it's not so differen now (Greed)
Change?
You said that you wanted to change?
Nothing's changed
Rich Man asks Poor Man
"Why do you steal from me?"
Poor Man answers Rich Man
"How did you think I lived?"
And it's not so differen now (Greed)
Change?
You said that you wanted to change?
Nothing's changed
And so I look in to your eyes
And I see that
I'm staring in to the eyes of death
Oh my beautiful Africa

Lillion Brosis were a fantastic discovery we made while on tour in our favourite country to play, Czech Republic. From the small town of Znojmo in the South, they make a very big, very awesome sound!
