More Powa to Da People

Jah - we are on a slippery slope ... first power, water crisis to come - what a fantastic example of forward planning and efficient government ....

Power to the People 21 Jan 2008 -- Fifty Five Productions VIDEO

For a humorous personal delivery of the message to the music video please click on More Powa to Da People Take 3 - enjoy ...


It's a shock around the block and so sudden so surreal

As we sit here with our candles in the dark

Things were oh so hunky dory we were sailing on downstream

And then suddenly we're back in Noah's ark

Good old Eishkom it appears has been sleeping for some years

Rolling out supply which cannot meet demand

Yes the signs were there for heeding but priority and seeding

Was to power up the have-nots and their yards


More power to the People (Buy a jenny if you can)

Or some candles and some gas stoves (Man 'n boer hy maak n plan)

Save some power for your country (Switch off geysers and don't bath)

Take the day off there's no power (See the humour man and laugh)


Just a week ago my brother power wasn't a concern

I thought load sheds were a diet to lose weight

Now I'm hustling for a jenny but I cannot find me any

There ain't one in the country I must wait

Yah we all know that apartheid was an evil dispensation

But at least we had some lights to frigging see

Now we all have rights and voting but we may as well go boating

Thank our Comrades thank the good old ANC

CHORUS

You can blame our evil history you can tell us what you dare

Between Zuma and Mbeki it's a farce

While we struggle with our candles as we stumble in the darkness

With our fingers permanently up our arse

I hear politicians sighing even while some people dying

Cause the headlines focus now on other stuff

Its just power power power every single waking hour

And the nation now has had e-friggin'-nough!

CHORUS TWICE

Thanks Cookeladoo - have you seen Take 3 of the same music video - its a tad funnier - proper video as opposed to flicking logos.

I also have a music vid on democracy in SA - search YouTube under Zuma Mbeki and Kevin and let me know what you think! Glad you enjoyed it.
