Lyrics
Take a look
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.
Drugs are coming across the border
Unrest turns into disorder
Jobless people stand in queues
Everybody's got the blues
Pre Chorus:
You can't ignore what is going on the streets
You can't ignore when they're turning up the heat
You can't ignore that it's not much short of a war
You can't ignore that it's not much short of a war
Chorus:
Take a look now at our nation
Take a look now what do you see
Take a look now this is your country
Is it really the way it should be?
Take a look now…
Lots of folks here got no proper homes
And when the refugees come they're first to go
What's wrong with the government
If a nigger means more than your own citizen
They're increasing the taxes every other day
When the government blows it's people who will pay
Something should be clear now through the bore
This downfall can't go on no more
