1973 - Jokers Reparations letra

In 1973 the naira was introduced
To help the economy
But the value is kinda weak
One naira is 0.06 dollar
In official calculations
Before "inflation"
We used cowries
We all knew what things were worth
But for mirrors and beads
The've sold us a whole nation

You say "now wheres all the money gone?"
To banks in switzerland
Where you r wealth is our poverty
A jokers reparation is kinda deep

Its got the punchline "democracy"
On the stage of globalisation
And now we go-a-begging
Internationally
To the countries
No apologies

For jokers reparations
