1973 (Jokers Reparations)
In 1973 the naira was introduced
To help the economy
But the value is kinda weak:
One naira is 0, 06 dollar
In official calculations
Before "inflation"
We used cowries
We all knew what things were worth
But for mirrors and beads.
The've sold us a whole nation.
You say "now wheres all the money gone?"
To banks in switzerland
Where your wealth is our poverty.
A jokers reparation is kinda deep
It's got the punchline "democracy"
On the stage of globalisation
And now we go-a-begging
Internationally,
To the countries of our suffering
For debt relier
With no apologies
Just devalued currencies
No apologies
For jokers reparations
To help the economy
But the value is kinda weak:
One naira is 0, 06 dollar
In official calculations
Before "inflation"
We used cowries
We all knew what things were worth
But for mirrors and beads.
The've sold us a whole nation.
You say "now wheres all the money gone?"
To banks in switzerland
Where your wealth is our poverty.
A jokers reparation is kinda deep
It's got the punchline "democracy"
On the stage of globalisation
And now we go-a-begging
Internationally,
To the countries of our suffering
For debt relier
With no apologies
Just devalued currencies
No apologies
For jokers reparations
