Here are the lyrics…

Life and Debt

From exalted to human with the stroke of a pen doesn’t seem to mean much these days. ‘cause when push comes to shove, that bomb drops from above and the children put the city ablaze.

Just ‘cause the monkeys in suits won’t tally me banana doesn’t mean them bellies don’t really ache. A noose ‘round the neck ain’t a cash-able cheque, but that’s the only deal the IMF makes. How far that branch gives before it breaks?

Who can you turn to?
Desperate times force the desperate hand, yeah.
Who can you turn to when the money man’s got the key?
Who can you turn to?
Desperate times ‘cross this desperate land, yeah.
Who can you turn to?

White dollars, they come to play in the sun – margaritas in the tropical heat. But that money won’t find you black peace of mind, only bullets in the city streets.

‘cause when you can’t buy the seed and the land yields weeds, you sit around always waiting. Yeah, waiting for the time when you need to rise and put an end to all of this debating – all of this fussing and a fighting.

Who can you turn to?
Desperate times force the desperate hand, yeah.
Who can you turn to when the IMF lock the door?
Who can you turn to?
Desperate times ‘cross this desperate land, yeah.
Who can you turn to?
Sing loud ‘til the world can’t ignore anymore.
