We are our leaders, without power

i see white dancers with black asses
dancing naked for the poor masses
in this place we are all clowns
lunatics in all our towns
let us merry and raise our glasses.

a time will come; they will come to us
gathered like cabbages in a bus
we’ll dance for maggi
and soak our garri
and be happy they minus our plus.
