(Spoken over Above Chords):
Way down in Africa,
Where the backra,
Still rules,
Day after day,
The Black Man is,
Suffering now,
Far more,
Than when he,
Was a slave.
Is there a,
Need for war?
No.
Peace my bredren;
Here them bawl.
Bodies in,
Mutilated condition,
Faces scarred,
Beyond recognition.
Is this what,
Civilization,
Means to me?
Then without it,
I prefer to be,
So...
