lyrics

Theres an African nation on fire
well theres an African nation on fire

Fight cancer
use what you got
but it keeps on burnin'
and it ain't gonna stop
there's people in the streets
& they're burnin' by the lots
their corpses decay
&their bodies rot

when Theres an African Nation on fire
and it keeps on burnin'
Theres an African Nation on fire
and it keeps on burnin'
right now

Ignited right within sudan
Caught in the great
devid for land
no one I knew would lend a hand
so now all that's left is sand

when Theres an African Nation on fire
and it keeps on burnin'
Theres an African Nation on fire
and it keeps on burnin'
right now

I called the department
they didn't care
they said it's fine
if it stays there
they shoulda gone
either way
but when they shoulda gone
they just stayed

so Theres an African Nation on fire
and it keeps on burnin'
Theres an African Nation on fire
and it keeps on burnin'
right now

There's a nation on fire
don't you know
yet it's still not enough to make you go
televisions refuse to show
for they do not want you to go
but
but Oh, don't you know
there's a nation on fire & it's about to blow
but Oh, don't you know
yet it's still not enough to make you go

when Theres an African Nation on fire
and it keeps on burnin'
Theres an African Nation on fire
and it keeps on burnin'
There's an African nation on fire
and it keeps on burnin'
theres an African Nation on fire
and no one's doing
SHIT
