Privatisation Lyrics by Femi Kuti
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
Our government, dem think say dem wise
Privatization again, them disguise
Our government, dem think say dem wise
Privatization again, them disguise
Na legal way to steal our resources, them devise
Corruption in another way, them legalize
Na legal way to steal our resources, them devise
Corruption in another way, them legalize
No how much them steal, them no day satisfy
Their crooked ways, them dey try to justify
No how much them steal, them no day satisfy
Their crooked ways, them dey try to justify
After running down our refineries
And stopping public services from functioning
They tell us privatizing
Is the only way of surviving
They then set up private companies
Then take our country’s stolen money
They take our money and buy our country away from us
[Chorus]
(Privatization) Ah-ha, ah-ha
(The new corny way)
They take our money and buy our country away from us
(Privatization) Ah-ha, ah-ha, ha-ha
(The new corny way)
To steal our money, to steal our resources
(Privatization) Ah-ha, ah-ha
(The new corny way)
They take our money and buy our country away from us
(Privatization) Ah-ha, ah-ha, ha-ha
(The new corny way)
