OH BANYARWANDA Many tears have fallen ghosts still a callin' it’s gonna haunt ya But school bells are ringing and everyone’s singing Banyarwanda Where were you when the people cried and confessed Did school bells ring did anyone sing what a bloody mess Armchair pity blood on a city and so much despair Most couldn't find it just left it behind 'cause we didn't care Famine and feast, disease and deceased, I'm so sorry Humanity caved, no one was saved, no Joshua story Women and children one hundred days of killing so unholy Just like the forties a never-ending story so chilling, so gory No war today the West said OK, no war tomorrow Scars haven't healed over the killing fields of blood and sorrow No military police no fear on street no more radio warnings No more grief just a long lasting peace let's sing good morning

KILLING ME KILLING YOU Make love not war Have breakfast in bed What’s it all for You’re no good to any one dead Live and let live Lend a helping hand You don’t have to forget But you have to forgive or You’re killing me, killing you Killing me, killing you One step forward Two jumps back Don’t matter what you roll You’re game’s so off track What is truth? Who are enemies? Love thy neighbour Meant a lot you see, now are you Jesus said “This” And Muhammad said “That” (Peace be upon him) I am. I am. That’s where they’re at Both Men cried when Mahatma Gandhi died Why oh why why am I why are you Killing me, I’m killing you Killing me, killing you Killing me, killing you
