Freshlyground - Banana Republic Lyrics

Nasi isandla, ndicel’ undiphe
Nantsi intloko, ingqondo ifile
Mongameli, ndijonge emehlweni
Ndingumuntu nam
Nqanda mama
Isikolo sitshile
Phel’ imfundo
Icawa iphumile
Onamandla ndibaptize ngomlilo; ndibe ngcwele nam

I have fallen, will I awaken?
I’m a mess and you tell me I’m faking
God alone she knows I have tried very hard
Burn it all to the ground
Leave it bleeding
Poisoning all the people you’re leading
God alone she knows I have tried very hard

Banana (Banana Republic)
Banana (Banana Republic)
Banana (Banana Republic)
Banana (Banana Republic)

Emergency
Insecurity
No opportunity

Well it’s just another day in the Banana Republic
Banana, banana, banana, banana
Banana, banana, banana, banana
Banana, banana, banana, banana
It’s just another day in the Banana Republic

All your people dying in freedom
Suffering a profound lack of leading
Are you even there when we call? Are you a human, man?
Full of lies, can’t believe what I’m hearing
From your lips a river of scheming
Poisoning all the water we’re drinking
Are we good to go?

I have fallen, will I awaken?
I’m a mess and you tell me I’m faking
God alone she knows I have tried very hard
Burn it all to the ground
Leave it bleeding
Poisoning all the people you’re leading
God alone She knows I have tried very hard

Banana (Banana Republic)
Banana (Banana Republic)
Banana (Banana Republic)
Banana (Banana Republic)

Emergency
Discovery
No opportunity
And more it’s just another day in the Banana Republic

Banana, banana, banana, banana
Banana, banana, banana, banana
Banana, banana, banana, banana
It’s just another day in the Banana Republic

State of emergency (Banana Republic)
State of emergency (Banana Republic)
State of emergency (Banana Republic)
State of emergency (Banana Republic)
State of emergency (Banana Republic)
State of emergency (Banana Republic)
State of emergency (Banana Republic)
State of emergency (Banana Republic)
