Lyrics

[Chorus: Fela Kuti] Eh-ya! Seven minutes later All don cool down, brother Police don go away Army don disappear Them leave sorrow, tears and blood Them regular trademark Them leave sorrow, tears and blood Them regular trademark Them regular trademark Them regular trademark That is why Eh-ya! Someone just die (2x) Eh-ya! Police they come, army they come That is why Eh-ya! Everybody run run run Eh-ya! Everybody scatter scatter Eh-ya! Someone just die That is why [Verse 1: F. Mills] And you ask me what I think about the news It ain't current enough for my views Ain't no marching enough for my shoes They ain't stomping enough to get through Borderline, I'm so borderline fumbling through this voter line Am I just living or am I just letting go of my Self Hating the others waited I'm certified Murder rise they ill advised but what am I? A target shit we far from it we come alive Them bullets flying become aligned they struck a line A fucking lion I'm roaring nah we soaring nah We been working oh boy am I Distorted nah Appeared through There's a clear view in my rear view But what I'm seeing is it geared to What I'm into Most just talking they scared walking and fearful [Chorus: Fela Kuti] That is why Eh-ya! Someone just die (2x) Eh-ya! Police they come, army they come That is why Eh-ya! Everybody run run run Eh-ya! Everybody scatter scatter Eh-ya! Someone just die That is why [Bridge: F. Mills *radio dispatch*] And you ask me what I think about the news It ain't current enough for my views Ain't no marching enough for my shoes They ain't stomping enough to get through (2x) [Bridge: F. Mills] What you yelling Fuck you, tell em again What we yelling Fuck you, tell em again What you yelling Fuck you, tell em again [Chorus: Fela Kuti] Seven minutes later All don cool down, brother Police don go away Army don disappear Them leave sorrow, tears and blood Them regular trademark Them leave sorrow, tears and blood Them regular trademark Them regular trademark Them regular trademark That is why [Bridge: F. Mills] What you yelling Fuck you, tell em again What we yelling Fuck you, tell em again oh (2x) And flying off the handle ain't dismantling shit *mumbles And we strive to get wealth We ain't dying for our health [Chorus: Fela Kuti] That is why Eh-ya! Someone just die (2x) Eh-ya! Police they come, army they come That is why Eh-ya! Everybody run run run Eh-ya! Everybody scatter scatter Eh-ya! Someone just die That is why
