Becky says she’s sorry But she said it with a smile Said I want my ring back She pawned it for a dime Black Lung said, don’t worry But he said it with a growl Said I want my life back But he’s already in me now So I went down to the coal fields Traded silver for black lung No one is born equal Under the cold African sun Is you hungry? Is you poor? Is you the man we’re praying for? We heard of you When we were small Black Lung knows when we is sore Condones revenge and keeping score Stone Age broke the wheel Guns, germs and steel The Bronze Age, sugar pills Hallelujah Fire pool democracy My heritage, pornography Nose cartilage, ticks and fleas Hallelujah Privilege, supremacy My bullshit bad legacy To blame me is to be free Hallelujah Dearly beloved Were you sent from above? I was made from snake tooth And unrequited love Here, hold my ghost Here, hold my beer No one is born equal No one is born free Is you hungry? Is you poor? Is you the man we’re praying for? We heard of you When we were small Black Lung knows when we is sore Condones revenge and keeping score Violent geography SABC Our bastard biology Hallelujah Darling hypocrisy This bullshit is killing me Redemption on ETV Hallelujah Settlers' telepathy Our history sold separately To blame it is to be free Hallelujah Blame it is to be free Hallelujah Blame it is to be free Hallelujah
