Isu Ude (Kicking Un-Knowledge)

The church borrowed the condoms
Ala eloo ya!

The earth climaxed ere we were born
But we still squirm in the gooey sperm

Creation grew weak
Dwarfs fill the earth
Mmm,

Justice had foresight
She found a blindfold early

Wisdom waits to be sought for
Her towers have turned tomb stones

The libraries stay quiet
The students stay away
Mmm,

"The rich also cry"
Tears must now wear price tags

"The man died"
Feminists may now rejoice

"It's good to be good"
Haha! Now, that was good.

Love is often accidental
The hospitals are always full

Friendship is as intoxicating as wine
Teetotallers are not missing much
Mmm

The globe has sworn perpetual recession
All man must moonwalk

Arise O compatriots!
PDP has need of the seats

It's complicated as my country
It's simple as my countrymen

I can't stand our fathers
We only see eye to eye when I look in the mirror
Hmm,

We saved for the rainy day
Now we cannot even go out to spend our savings

The nimbus always lowers on us, bulging with rain
Little wonder we've got our heads in the clouds

When the midwives pinched the newborn 9ja
they meant "Any last words?"

*Isu Ude - Moaning; Groaning; Sighing; Lamentations
*Ala eloo ya - (Igbo) the earth swallowed her (it).
