about

Dole queues get longer, but the message from the press remains the same; A proper job's not hard to find.

lyrics

A proper job's not hard to find
People get them all time
That's why we're always queuing up in lines

(A proper job isn't hard to find
But I haven't got one (that's what I mean)
You worry too much
The queues get bigger and one promises more
The other one even more and the other one still more
But life doesn't let us playing around
And therefore, thanks to God, a new Mandela is coming
Who from prison to prison has been educating himself in the light of the candles
Building up from a window the speech that would be changing the world's thinking:
"I don't want to be compared to Nero but I don't buy their ideas, no
I am not stupid nor do I tolerate them, my rap is a serious thing
I don't let them to play around in my empire nor in the ministry
I don't accept all this talk and no actions
Don't take any notice of the news
Brother you have studied to become engineer but you are jobless?"

"And it is in that way that one more big heart like me is going to make history
Like God always hoping and wishing, and not like human beings,
Always wanting, wishing to make
Today's world is what it is (destroyed) thanks to a half dozen of bananas who run election campaigns promising worlds and funds
But in the end they do nothing
Playing with our money by making propaganda, it is what it is
Believe people: you have the authority but you don't make your voice heard
You complain and defame whoever faces the bad boys
And debate about important issues, like how to end the political system
Which leaves us confused, not knowing where to go.
Let go the feeling of fear, knowing doesn't take up space at all
Get yourself out of this movie, the secret is in your strength
Which is found inside you, put an end to it now brother!"

"Oh united we will always win, there is nothing or anyone who can intimidate us
We are all brothers, we're all members of the same family
We are all from the same blood
So even when we misunderstand each other, whatever brother!
For I will not let the system take advantage upon us, no, I will not let it happen")
