Skunk Song
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.
I'm living in a funny neighbourhood
The blackies and the whities try to get along
But here comes Johnny with divide and rule
He's always fucking up
But what do we do we go and vote them in
We give them power to destroy our lives for good
We never give ourselves to chance to be
Always looking up
Skunk Anansie
Skunk, skunk, skunk, skunk
Skunk, skunk, skunk, skunk
Skunk Anansie
And the police we give them so much power
We're givin' 'em guns, we're givin' 'em lives to blow away
And they protect us with their winning smiles
It's time to fuck them up
And how-do-we-do-that, how do we keep control
The first thing we must do is vote them out for good
Kick all the corrupt insatiable fuckers out
It's time for cooking up
Skunk Anansie
