lyrics

A LUTA CONTINUA

Big man in a big suit in a big car full of bad loot he’s a
Vice President, CEO, he’s a four-star general on patrol

Fled to Russia in the struggle, learned in China how to hustle
Years waiting, learned patience, beady eyes on the big pay-off

A luta continua
You eat yourself, Azania
A luta continua

New government, no rules there is so much to steal and no time to lose
He’s a big predator on the loose; there’s no crime if there’s no proof

Famine is a fundraiser prime minister’s a fund-chaser
Donations rotting on the docks big man is taking stock

A luta continua
You eat yourself, Azania
A luta continua


Big man in a poor nation; the sickness of the population
One Party, three-piece suit; liberation’s prostitute
