Lyrics
1973 - Jokers Reparations
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In 1973 the naira was introduced
To help the economy
But the value is kinda weak
One naira is 0.06 dollar
In official calculations
Before "inflation"
We used cowries
We all knew what things were worth
But for mirrors and beads
The've sold us a whole nation
You say "now wheres all the money gone?"
To banks in switzerland
Where you r wealth is our poverty
A jokers reparation is kinda deep
Its got the punchline "democracy"
On the stage of globalisation
And now we go-a-begging
Internationally
To the countries
No apologies
For jokers reparations
