1973 (Jokers Réparations) Songtext / Lyric

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
