Why can't you, who can't do something, do what they can
Do what they can, getting from bad to worst, to worst
Calling Africa, calling Africa, African and Africans
Shouldn't chase their Brothers

All over the all wild world, all over
All over, all over
It's Getting from bad to worst
Getting from bad to worst, to worst, to worst
