1973 - Jokers Reparations

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
