1. _ Tell It Like It Is
(chorus)
I jus` a tell it like it is, yeah
I jus` a tell it like it is, oh yeah
I`ve got to be blatant in this time
Jus` like i know 1 + 1 no make 9 (repeat)
Now what was i saying about being blatant
You got to be blatant in an argument
You got to make sure your feelings are felt
Perfect example for you from me
Watch lying politicians me seh on me t.v.
Pay big big money for the licence fee
(at the same time them a try fi fool we) (repeat)
(chorus)
I jus` tell it like it is, yeah
I jus` tell it like it is, oh yeah
I`ve got ....
I`ve got to be blatant in this time
Now let me tell me more about being blantant
You got to be blatant me seh
With product you invent
If you don`t patent it
You nah see a cent
You have no money fi go pay up your rent
If you crash fi your car
Or you in an accident
If it`s not your fault you be blatant
(chorus)
I jus` tell it like it is, yeah
I jus` tell it like it is, oh yeah
I`ve got ....
Now i get serious about being blatant
Police come and mess with me pon the pavement
They say oi` where you going, what you doing here?
I just leave mi house fi go buy a tin of beer
Another example of being blatant
South africa police a kill the innocent
Fire live ammunition me seh into a crowd
If that`s not blatant murder
Then murder can`t be found (repeat)
(repeat chorus)

2. _ Don't Blame Me
I think its only fair to say
We`d welcome riches down our way
No stigma knotted in my hair
I want to be a millionaire
Nevertheless i must insist
A thought is spared for those who missed
The handouts when it came to wealth
To education and good health
The time has come now all can see
As seeing this is killing me
Our future victim to command
Together we can lend a hand
(chorus)
So don`t blame me for wanting more
The facts are too hard too ingnore
I`m scared to death of poverty
I only want whats best for me
But even so i`m holding on
I think the world can live as one
If only credence took the lead
The world would see a world to feed
An endless sea of blood that`s spilt
Enough to sail an ark of guilt
And when we lend our helping hand
We`ll have our green and pleasant land

3. _ Watchdogs
You try to close your ears
And you try to close your eyes
But the blasphemies keep coming
Tempting you lies
(chorus)
Give thanks for you protection
Your watchdogs of the night
Who hold the hungry wolves at bay
And keep them out of sight, out of sight
You just don`t understand it
But it strikes a distant chord
So you look for away of escaping
And sanity`s restored
(chorus)
Give thanks for your protection
Your .......
You focus your direction
Cloak tightly pulled around
But somewhere in the distance
You can hear a haunting sound
(chorus)
Give thanks for your protection
Your .......
You`re in danger of corruption
And you`re always running scaerd
You cannot make decisions
You`re completely unprepared
(chorus)
Give thanks for your protection
Your .......

4. _ All I Want To Do
(chorus)
I don`t like the work but true i need the money
My life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny
Peolpe all around, telling me what to do
And all i want to do is stay at home with you
Time after time i say to myself
Working all my life isn`t good for my health
Get old, get tired, get put on the shelf
I do all the work, someone else gets all the wealth
Wish i was on an island in the sun
Where i woouldn`t have to worry how to get things done
(chorus)
I don`t like the work but true i need the money
My life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny
Peolpe all around, telling me what to do
And all i want to do is stay at home with you
Day after day becomes more of a grind
Bills pile up, moneys harder to find
Trying to get ahead money`s harder to find
If i don`t give it up i`m gonna lose my mind
Wish i was on an island in the sun
Where i wouldn`t have to worry how to get things done
(chorus)
I don`t like the work but true i need the money
My life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny
Peolpe all around, telling me what to do
And all i want to do is stay at home with you

5. _ The Elevator
1st floor decide what you`ll be one day
With a head full of comment and nothing to say
2nd floor mixed up it happens that way
Soon you realize that listening don`t pay
3rd floor in limbo, no easy moves
Up or down it`s time to choose
(chorus)
The elevators going up
Quick the door`s about to shut
Too late we`re full just hang around
It won`t be long - it won`t be long before it`s down
4th floor the job hunt and all that you ask
Is an honest day`s pay for an honest day`s graft
5th floor you may make a little more money
Now it`s apparent downstairs ain`t so fuuny
6th floor a mortgage, a collar and tie
2 weeks vacation in june or july
(chorus)
The elevators going up
Quick the door`s about to shut ....
7th floor expenses and private schools
Pushing a pen you`re not turning the tools
8th floor position, respect and acclaim
Move up the 9th for fortune or fame
10th floor for investment and real estate
Recouping the redies before it`s tool late
11th floor the penthouse the final cut
With a head full of comment and a mouth that stays shut
(chorus)
The elevators going up
Quick the door`s about to shut ....

6. _ Sing Our Own Song
The great flood of tears that we`ve cried
For our brothers and sisters who`ve died
Over four hundred years
Has washed away our fears
And strengthened our pride
Now we turn back the tide
We will no longer hear your command
We will sieze the control from your hand
We will fan the flame
Of our anger and pain
And you`ll feel the shame
For what you do in gods name
(chorus)
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
When the ancient drum rythms ring
The voice of our forefathers sings
Forward africa run
Our day of freedom has come
For me and for you
Amandla awethu
(chorus)
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song

7. _ You Could Meet Somebody
(chorus)
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Life in the shadows ain`t no fun
It`s easy getting up there
Never think of coming down
Not hard to say `i want you`
When you`re floating on a cloud
But you know that lonely feeling
When nothing`s going right
`cause it`s only the beginning
Of a cold and sleepless night
(chorus)
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Your only chance is to turn and run
It`s harder getting up there
And it`s painful coming down
And now you can`t see clearly
Beneath the thunder cloud
And the loneliness gets longer
When nothing`s going right
And things ain`t getting any better
With another sleepless night
(chorus)
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Your only chance is to turn and run

8. _ Looking Down At My Reflection
Looking down at my reflection
In the puddle at my feet
Things don`t seem so real down there
Or maybe i don`t see
I see no satrvation
I don`t see any pain
I see myself not helping
Just a lonner in the rain
Looking down at my reflection
In the puddle in the ground
Things are getting clearer now
I can see a thunder cloud
I see gross injustice
I see evil men
I see myself repeating
The same old words again
Looking down at my reflection
In the puddle lying there
Now i decide to change my mind
And show the world i care
I care about my fellow man
Being taken for a ride
I care that things start changing
But there`s no one on my side

9. _ Rat In Mi Kitchen
(chorus)
There`s a rat in me kitchen what am i gonna do?
There`s a rat in me kitchen what am i gonna go?
I`m gonna fix that rat thats what i`m gonna do,
I`m gonna fix that rat.
When you open your mouth you don`t talk, you shout
And you give every body the blame,
But when they catch you up,
They will shut you up
And you got no one to blame
(chorus)
There`s a rat in me kitchen ........
When you out on the street,
You practice lies and deceipt
And you scandalize my name
But when i catch you up
I`m gonna pull you up
I`m gonna check-out inside your brain
(chorus)
There`s a rat in me kitchen .......
When yo deh pon the scene,
You make everyone scream
Because they know your so unjust
But when they catch you up
They will kick you up
Because you someone they cannot trust
(chorus)
There`s a rat in me kitchen .......
You invade my space
Make me feel disgraced
And you just don`t give a damn
If i had my way
If i had my say
I`d like to see you hang
(chorus)
There`s a rat in me kitchen .....
(repeat chorus and fade)
