Lagos Slums |
| He’s had bicycles and sons |
| He’s had salted fish and dark rum |
| Now his days are almost done |
| In the Lagos slums |
| He was a farmer for a while |
| Growin' plantains by the coastline |
| And some said he had a smile |
| Like a movie star |
| La ah La ah ah ah |
| (He) met his wife one Friday night |
| At a dance hall near the train tracks |
| And his heart soared like a kite |
| In the evening light |
| (He) worked the oil fields once |
| Saved some money for his family |
| Built a house near Eden’s Point |
| Where they raised their boys |
| La ah La ah ah ah |
| He says it’s hard to be a man |
| Who works and still can’t feed his children |
| But he does the best he can |
| In the New World Plan |
| We’re all forgotten |
| This road leads nowhere |
