Make you no go anywhere
Just wait make I tell you something

[Chorus]
Fela, you don come again!

I never come again

Make you wait till I reach where I dey go

[Chorus]
Where you dey go?

Make I reach...

Make I reach
Don't ask me
Wait and see

I say, I say, I say...

This thing wey happen

Na big big thing
First time in the whole world
If you hear the name, you go know
Government magic
Tell me the name now

[Chorus]
Government magic!

Them go dabaru everything
Them go turn green into white
Them go turn red into blue
Water dey go, water dey come
Water dey go, water dey come
Them go turn electric to candle
Them go turn electric to candle
Government magic

I see dey come
Small, small

Look o, look o

[Chorus]
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left!

One thousand soldiers them dey come
People dey wonder, dey wonder, dey wonder
One more time: people dey wonder, dey wonder, dey wonder

Stevie Wonder dey there too
Na one week after FESTAC too
And dey broadcast on American satellite
Around that time too now, I say to you

Where these one thousand soldiers them dey go?
Look o
Na Fela house Kalakuta
Them don reach the place, them dey wait
Them dey wait for...

[Chorus]
Order!

Now listen

[Chorus]
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left!

Them surround the place, kwam kwam kwam, them dey wait
Wait them helmet and them guns
And them petrol and them matches
Then again...

[Chorus]
Stand at ease!

Fela dey for house
Beko dey there too
Them mama dey there too
Beautiful people dey there too
Frenchman dey there too
Press man dey there too
One-fifty of us dey there too

Then suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly...

[Chorus]
Jaba, jaba...

Jebe, jebe...
Jawa, jawa...

Them dey break, yes

Wasting money for FESTAC
Wetin this Fela do?
This government e bad o

Then suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly...

Government bring instruments of magic
Them bring inquiry
Them bring two men
One soldier, one Justice
The name of Justice: Mr. Justice Agwu Anya
The other Justice: Mr. Justice Dosunmu

Them start magic
Them seize my house wey them don burn
Them seize my land
Them drive all the people wey live in area
Two thousand citizens
Them make them all homeless now
Them start magic

Them bring flame, them bring hat
Them conjure, them bring rabbit
Them bring egg, them bring smoke
Them dey scream, them dey fall
Them conjure, spirit catch them
Them dey fall, them dey scream
Them dey shout
Them dey, them dey say

[Chorus]
Unknown soldier!

Na him do am

Government magic
I get some information for you
I get some information for you
That my mama wey you kill
She fought for universal adult suffrage
That my mama wey you kill
She fought for universal adult suffrage
That my mama wey you kill
She is the only mother of this country
That my mama wey you kill
She is the only mother of Nigeria

Which kind injustice is this?
Wetin concern government inside?
If na unknown soldier
I said, wetin concern government inside?
If na unknown soldier
We get unknown police
We get unknown soldier
We get unknown civilian
All is equal to unknown government

We get unknown police
Them go kill nine students
We get unknown civilian
Them go kill two soldiers
We get unknown soldier
I say unknown police
And then unknown soldier
And then unknown civilian
All is equal to unknown government

Them turn green into red
Them turn blue into white
Them turn green into blue

I'm finished, mother

Lekki Sun Splash (Dec 1993)

The crowd urged Fela to "yab" Abacha, since he hadn't yabbed Abacha the way he had yabbed Babangida.

"Wetin una want make I talk? In the country of the blind the one eyed man is leading" (Abacha was cross-eyed).

"We get Babangida we think say things bad, now Abacha don come and everything turn to basha basha"
