why i was born at all
I wake up Sunday morning, pain in
my head
I stumble out of bed, fall to the floor
My mouth is dry and I need a drink
I lay there thinking, what’s come over me
CHORUS
Why was I born at all?
Why was I born at all?
Tell me why why, why, why?
Tell me why, why, why, whyyyyyy?
I went to work, got fired by my boss
Said I was lazy, just a pain in the butt.
Pack your things, and head for the door.
Your problems have passed you by
CHORUS
Driving down the free way, at 210.
Got pulled over, by the cops once again.
They took my license, then they took my car.
I’m walking home in the pouring rain
CHORUS
I get home early, find my wife in bed.
My best friend, is lying next to her.
She tells me, she don’t need me no more.
Pack your things, and head for the door

coming home
Coming home, I wanna be with you
Everyday
Coming home, I wanna show you,
what you mean to me
I’ve been away, now I’m here, to stay,
just with you
It’s been so long, I forgot
what you mean to me
CHORUS
I wanna be the one, who makes your life so grand
Shelter you from the rain
I wanna hold you close, protect you from the world
Never leave you again
Had to go, serve, my county,
like any man
What I saw, opened up my eyes,
made me a man
Now I know, you gotta fight
to be a man.
And don’t you know, coz you live in your,
shelterd world
CHORUS
Life’s a bitch - It’s always hits you,
when you down
Pain and strife - are everywhere,
you look around
Deceit and lies - Lie, within the hearts,
of the wicked one
Poverty - is something we,
don’t wanna know

and she said
And she said I want you, want you home by 10 o’clock.
And I said, I want to, depending on all the guys.
And she said I don’t care; don’t care what they really think.
And I said, I love you, think that you really sweet.
CHORUS 1
So she takes it away, and she breaks it away
And she really makes me feel so fine.
All the love that she gives is so bitter and sweet
And I can’t live without her by my side.
So she just smiled, and gave me, gave me a peck on the cheek
And I said I, with out you, life is not so complete
So she just laughed, laughed aloud, laughed aloud and winked at me
And I just held her, held her. Oh! So close to me
CHORUS 2
She’s so young and divine, trusting sublime
Everything a man looks for in a wife
You’re the air that I breath, the love of my life
My one and only deep true love, Yeah... Yeah... Yeah...
So I went out, without her, Oh! But it wasn’t the same
I just miss her, miss her, miss her by my side
Now I know why, I need her, need her all the time
It ain’t the same, no it ain’t , no it ain’t the same without her
CHORUS 1, CHORUS 2

don’t do drugs
Don’t do drugs, it will kill you
Think of all the ones you love
It will claim you, leave it’s mark
You were born, smarter then that
CHORUS
Free yourselves, from this poison
It’s in your hand, to take control
Walk away, don’t look back
Gotta change your life today
All those drug lords, laugh at you
All they want, is your money - not you
They don’t care, if you die
There’s many out there, just like you
CHORUS
Free yourselves, from this poison
It’s in your hand, to take control
Walk away, don’t look back
Gotta change your life today
I don’t want it

that’s the way it is
Do you remember when
Things were oh so great
Life was very cheap
Bread was just a dime
Things now are really bad
No milk or sugar too!!
What with these power cuts
No running water too
CHORUS 1
How can we all survive
In this land of pain and strife
Can’t afford studio time
Or put fuel now in my car
People are suffering now
No food at dinner time
Fat cats get fatter now
Seems like they have it all
There’s no fuel around
Can’t even get to work
Can’t afford a beer
Prices are really bad
CHORUS 2
Can’t afford, NECESSITIES
They are all out of reach
They don’t care if we live or die
It’s just the way that it is
CHORUS 1, CHORUS 2

what’s the purpose
Sometimes you wonder, what life is all about
When you measure good days, against all the bad
You’ll have more bad days, then you’ll ever have good
You tend to wonder, what’s your purpose in life
CHORUS
My life is over, can you see it
I feel so bad, can you feel it
You got to get me out now
Before I do something stupid
Oh! Baby, baby, can you feel it
I tried so hard, but you can’t see it
You got to get me out now
It wasn’t me, who let you down now
Sometimes you wonder, why others have so much
You work so hard, but you still don’t have much
They seem to have it all happiness and success
Yet the cards you delt, have nothing for you
CHORUS
Sometimes I know, I got to get up and take it
It’s just a matter of time before I get it
Or maybe I just don’t have the strength
To realize the dream I have

september 11
I remember, that fateful day
I was home, in Zim-bab-we
Turned on the Tele, the news was on disaster everywhere
Planes a crashing, people running, blood everywhere
CHORUS
Why do cowards behave this way?
Causing harm to innocent lives
What would they do, if they knew?
It was there own family and friends
Ambulances wailing, cops a screaming
Confusion in their eyes
People dying, others crying
They don’t know what to do
Sadness deepens, tensions mounting
Thick black smoke all around
Concrete rubble, buildings broken
A stench in the air
CHORUS
They killed your mama, they killed your papa
They didn’t even care
Harden hearts, suicidal
Death is all they want
Is it god, is it Satan
People need to know
I think its Satan, the dirty liar
He’s taken over their hearts
CHORUS

tango time
Call, call on me baby
Just call on me now
Before you go your own way
Talk, talk to me baby
Just talk on me now
Before the end of my time
Take, take my hand
Dance and cry no more
There is a end to every war
I wanna dance with you
I wanna hold you close
I wanna Tango with you
Till the end of time
Just call on me now
Before you go your own way
Before the end of our time

zanzibar
You and I
In the middle of the night
Seating on the beach
On the white, white, white sand
Watching million stars
Shinning in your eyes
And I know how angels feel
Up in paradise
The world outside
It’s a size of coco nut
Its to small for us
To small for your smile
CHORUS
HEY, HEY IN NO TIME
WE MUST LEAVE OUR ZANZIBAR
HEY, HEY IN NO TIME
WE’LL BE BACK
IN OUR ZANZIBAR
Tell me where you gonna be
Tell me where you gonna be
Tell me where you gonna be
When the sun will rise
When the day will come
When you’ll forget our stars’
Brightest shine
CHORUS
So I can find you
I will find you
I will find you
To remind you
CHORUS

SO I WALKED
THE LINE, TO HELP YOU GET A BETTER LIFE
CHORUS
THEY TRIED TO
STOP ME INSIDE, AS YOU HEADED FOR THE DOOR
SO I TURNED
AROUND, TO FACE THE BIKERS ONCE MORE

RUSHED ME AT ONCE, AS I BIT THE BLOODY FLOOR
THEY ALL LAY
UPON THE FLOOR, AS I LEFT THE OPEN DOOR
