作曲 : David Arthur Brown

He's had bicycles and sons

He's had salted fish and dark rum

Now his days are almost done

In the Lagos slums

Was a farmer for a while

Growing plantains by the coastline

And some said he had a smile

Like a movie star

La ah La ah ah ah

La ah La ah ah ah

Met his wife one Friday night

At a dance hall near the train tracks

And his heart soared like a kite

In the evening light

Worked the oil fields once

Saved some money for his family

Built a house near Eden's Point

Where they raised their boys

La ah La ah ah ah

La ah La ah ah ah

Says it's hard to be a man

Works and still can't feed his children

But he does the best he can

In the New World Plan

We're all forgotten

This road leads nowhere

We're all forgotten

This road leads nowh
