I was born into a life already determined, it’s already been known,
I’ve to work, I’ve to sleep, then repeat
Giving me enough that I’ll remain
Just to be a link in their chain
The one that's tight around our necks
& shackled to our arms & to our legs
It keeps pulling us through life
Every which way (but loose)
Until one day we'll be dead
And then our children
It's on their heads
But with my mothers heart, & my daddy's mind
A new path I shall find
I won't be who they tell me to be
How can I? I've a daughter now, who looks up to me!
& in this world
You're either or
(An)African
Or a Cowboy
& you & I
will say goodbye
Before one of us
Shall die
& in this life
You must decide
Do you fall?
Or survive
& in this world
You're either or
(An)African
Or a Cowboy
My brother, he stands tall
It ain’t been easy, I recall
Silly little boys, they took your toys
They took your name, & left you pain
Ignorant pigs, I wished them dead
So I just messed with their heads
Look at you now, I couldn’t be prouder
King of your castle, you heart beats stronger
Brother, you won! Mother, our love!
But with my mothers heart, & my daddy's mind
A new path I shall find
I won't be who they tell me to be
How can I? I've a daughter now, who looks up to me!
& in this world
You're either or
(An)African
Or a Cowboy
& you & I
will say goodbye
Before one of us
Shall die
& in this life
You must decide
Do you fall?
Or survive
& in this world
You're either or
(An)African
Or a Cowboy

Everyday Superman - Live

I Remember, a time in my life
I was a young boy fighting for everything I had -
Stop me
If you
Know where
This goes
I didn’t know much and what I did I felt
In my heart & my head, I had to figure out
I waited for someone to turn up & help me out
But on the streets of Milton, no one came around
On the streets of Milton, no one comes to town
You need a Superman, in a world with no friends
You need a Superman when no one hears you drown...
Nana’s memories are fading away,
but I’ll never forget everything she did for me each day
Neighbours dined on cornflakes for their every meal
& if they wanted something substantial, they’d have to steal
Nana & Da made sure that life was not for me
They fed me love & laughter & humility
You need a Supergran when no one comes around
You need a Superman when no one hears you drown…..
I can be your Everyday Superman
I can take you to the sky, just hold my hand
I can save you from their evil master plan
I can be your Everyday Superman

1985 - Live

Skyscrapers replaced the Pyramids, in 1985
Reaganomics feeds consumerism, what a time to be alive
The slaves still build their temples, under the watchful illuminati eye Worked to death direct from the orders, of the old rich white guys!
Got no money,
Got no friends,
Got no nothing,
Got no chance,
They live!
We Sleep,
They're rich,
We're cheap!
Thatcher Snatched my Milk, back in 1985,
Broke my country into pieces, fed us lie after lie
Does this all seem familiar in 2020?
Nothing will ever change, when God still saves the Queen!
Got no money,
Got no friends,
Got no nothing,
Got no chance,
They live!
We Sleep,
They're rich,
We're cheap!

Lemme tell you about a thing I know
Lemme tell you now, let me let you know
I've seen it all through these here eyes
Seen it all unfold, heard all the lies
Empty promises & empty threats
Empty anything on us, to keep us in check
The 1% who run this party,
They do what they want, and that's just for starters
More for them, less for you
'Lesser' people, have more to do!
Life too short, to be unhappy
Time to gate crash, their big party
Help yourself, before you go any further
Be a friend & respect your brother
And when it's all said and done -
I just can't believe all the things people say
Controversy
Am I black or white, am I straight or gay?
Controversy
Do I believe in god, do I believe in me?
Controversy
Controversy x 2
I can't understand human curiosity
Controversy
Was it good for you, was I what you wanted me to be?
Controversy
Do you get high, does your daddy cry?
Controversy
Controversy x 2
Do I believe in god, do I believe in me?
Some people want to die so they can be free
I said life is just a game, we're all just the same,
Controversy x 2
I live in a town where my vote means shit!
I live on a land that’s governed by pigs!
I tried my best ma, to try fit in
Worked real hard, for all our sins
I live in a world ruled by fear
I live in a time where the end is near
Time to help myself & go for the money
And if I get caught, I won't be sorry
I'll take my chance, the time is now
And when it's all done, I'll take my bow
Nothing gona stop me now,
Cos I'm the boss, of this here town
And you'll know me from what I do
Cos if I don't, then I'm the fool
And when it's all said and done -
Do I believe in god, do I believe in me?
Some people want to die so they can be free
I said life is just a game, we're all just the same,
Yeah, oh yeah
Controversy x 4
TAKE THE MONEY & RUN!
