Oh dear, what’s the hoo-ha

there’s  another genocide somewhere in Africa

We’ll all talk about it for at least 10 minutes

Then get on with eating dinner

And thank God that we’re not in it

Blacks are killing blacks

The world is nonchalant

There’s something in the paper

In small neat font

People being chopped

But I’m blasé

After all, this is what happens in Africa today.

Oh dear, let’s  get our head out of the sand

Now the whites are at risk in that godless land

send in the convoys and the military clout

Gotta act fast, get our nationals out!

Cause blacks are killing blacks

The world is looking on

Now there’s a news report come in

they’re butchering priests and nuns

Orphans left to die

But that’s ok

After all, this is what happens in Africa today

Oh dear, what’s the hoo-ha

Seems there’s been a slow genocide for 50 years and more

We’ll all talk about it for at least 10 minutes

Then plug into our I phones

And thank God that we’re not in it.

And the army’s moving in

The world is nonchalant

There’s something in the paper

In small neat font

Families displaced

But that’s ok

After all, this is what happens in Burma today.

Oh dear, what’s the hoo-ha

Thousands of refugees are crossing borders

We’ll all talk about it, gotta get our facts clear

But all we end up doing ‘s  saying…

Oh dear, what’s the hoo-ha

Thousands of refugees are crossing borders

We’ll all talk about it, gotta get our facts clear

But all we end up doing, all we end up saying

All we end up doing, all we end up saying is……..
