A VAIN SHADOW

Out of cloudland of the delta kidnappers;
We had been steering;
After groping, and sick with fear;
Until, suddenly, we have arrived;
The bomb light land of the boko demons;
They require our death by scores;
Redemption for sins not committed;
Everyday bombing, everyday massacre;
And the president rose;
What did he do?
Sits with his arms folded;
Yet, wanna fish the perpetrators out;
Like he is always fond of doing;
Each time our blood flows in Golgotha;
He doles out epistle of sermons;
Prepared by abati or oro-tan do-glass;
“The president is on top of the situation”;
Far from the bottom, the root;
Nigeria, we hail thee!
A nation totally skidded down;
Into abysmal of disintegration;
Yea, into bottomless pit;
Due to a retinopathy for mega-blast wealth;
And acute seroconversion of public funds to personal use;
Symptoms of corruption-immuno-virus sufficiency syndrome (CIV)

  1. Everybody run, run, run;
    Everybody scatter, scatter;
    Some people lost some bread;
    Someone nearly die;
    Someone just died;
    Boko dey come;
    Police dey come;
    Kidnappers, too, dey come;
    Army dey come;
    Robbers dey come;
    Confusion everywhere;
    Hey yeah!
    Seven minutes later;
    All don cool down, brother;
    Police don go away;
    Army don disappear;
    Them leave Sorrow,
    Tears, and blood;
    Them regular trademark!
    Everybody run, run, run...
    La, la, la, la…

  2. You can't blame the youths;
    You can't fool the youths;
    You can't fool the youths;
    You teach the youths;
    About the pirate Hawkins;
    You said he was a very great man;
    You teach the youths;
    About the pirate Morgan;
    You said he was a very great man;
    When every Christmas comes;
    You buy the youth a pretty toy gun;
    When every Christmas comes around;
    You buy the youth a fancy toy gun;
    So, you can't blame the youths;
    When they get bad;
    You can't fool the youths;
    You can't fool the youths.
