I’M LOOKING FOR MY COUNTRY
There is MONEY here and naïveté,
MIX the two together and you get a MANUFACTURED CULTURE
there is also rubble and puddle and there is a huddle of people
but somewhere, somewhere there is a country
take the trees don’t mind the BEES ignore the NEWS
that building gets put into a muddle the LINES get READ between
but I’m just looking for my country
the WHITE boys confuse their mission
the WHITE girls are taking it all for granted
put up a NO-ENTRY sign turn right turn left turn right turn left turn right turn left
SOMEONE screamed too loud or too late
SOMEONE chose, leaving me to pick up the pieces
the CAR LOAD shattered into a million REASONS
when the left explodes its called the ANC
when the right explodes all I see are SHARDS of Hitler and FESTERS OF IGNORANCE
and yet those that THINK get blamed for causing the CONSCIENCE to collide
but I’m just looking for my country
that man is quite SICK he looks quite healthy but on CLOSER inspection
his HEART is a sickly shade of YELLOW my PILLOW gets WET from all these tears
the years are turning into coagulation and YES your dress is a mess
but I’m just looking for my country
No no no NO NO I don’t mind what LANGUAGE you speak just speak the same language
as me if only you’d throw your tongue FAR enough all over the world
there are people with problems but the KEY the KEY has been to open the door
not shut it in his face his RACE is MIXED but that’s no sweat he’ll win the race
don’t you want to know what’s going on because
I’m just looking for my country
take the WINNERS and the losers don’t think twice we think we’ve paid the price
but it looks like they want us to pay more for their patience has been running THIN
and the drums BEAT in the distance of your HEART and you start to pay no attention
did anybody mention there was a country here looking for me?
