Radio Africa

I'm hearing only bad news from Radio Africa,

I'rn hearing only sad news from Radio Africa

They've still got trouble with a monster in the South

Heads buried deep in that lion's mouth

Like a jaw snapped shut, it keeps them apart

If that jaw got broke it would be a start.

The West still complains about the foreign aid

They'd do better to change the terms of trade.

More tanks than food in the Ogaden

It looks like Moscow got it wrong again.

Mozambique and Mugabe

Still got Frelimo I hear them say

But "Exchange" means...

Recession" means",

It all means "Harder to take".

Tanzania should be moving up a gear

Instead they've got to step on the brake.

Can't stop a movement that's come this far

But "Lending" means."

"Interest" means",

"Harder to Fight"

Independence has a hidden expense

When the hands on the purse strings are white.
