Freshly Ground – Banana Republic Lyrics

Lyrics for Banana Republic by Freshly Ground

Nasi isandla, ndicel’ undiphe
Nantsi intloko, ingqondo ifile
Mongameli, ndijonge emehlweni
Ndingumuntu nam
Nqanda mama! Isikolo sitshile!
Phel’ imfundo! Icawa iphumile
Onamandla ndibaptize ngomlilo; ndibe ngcwele nam

(Here is a hand, share with me please
Here is a head, the mind is dead
Governor, look me in the eye
See I am a human too
Beware mama! The school is burnt to the ground!
End of knowledge! Church is out
Oh most Powerful baptise me with fire; make me holy too)

I have fallen, will I awaken?
I’m a mess and you tell me I’m faking
God alone She knows I have tried very hard
Burn it all to the ground
Leave it bleeding
Poisoning all the people you’re leading
God alone She knows I have tried very hard

Emergency
Insecurity
No Opportunity

It’s just another day in the Banana Republic

All your people dying in freedom
Suffering a profound lack of leading
Are you even there when we call? Are you a human, man?
Full of lies! Can’t believe what I’m hearing
From your lips a river of scheming
Poisoning all the water we’re drinking
Are we good to go?

Emergency
Discovery
No opportunity

It’s just another day in the Banana Republic

State of emergency!!!!

Banana Republic
