Bad Government Blues

Yebo, yebo

They promise us heaven but give us hell

Eish, sharp sharp

Every morning I wake up to the same old pain

No light, no water, corruption in the rain

They steal our future while we struggle to survive

Young ones hustling hard just to stay alive

Politicians eating while the people starve

They build mansions while our roads stay scarred

Promises and lies, that's all we ever hear

But election time comes, they suddenly appear

Bad country, bad government, oh oh

We dey suffer, we dey manage, asambe

Bad country, bad leaders too

But we still rise, we still hustle through

Let's go, let's go

Schools without books, hospitals without beds

But the politicians fly abroad to rest their heads

Our youth brilliant but no opportunities here

Talent wasted, dreams disappear

We pay taxes but see no returns

Watch our country crash while the elite never learn

But we're stronger than the struggle they create

One day we'll take back our fate, sho

Bad country, bad government, oh oh

We dey suffer, we dey manage, asambe

Bad country, bad leaders too

But we still rise, we still hustle through

Aweh, aweh

We go survive, sharp sharp

Bad government can't kill our spirit, yebo
