Black babies running for the candy truck in Africa
See them kicking up the dust from miles away
I'm drinking Evian and wondering where the hell I am
Looking for the preacher man to just translate
To just translate (2 x's)
We're eating chicken feet
Swear it kind of tastes like meat
Waiting for the Masai chief to take us in
Flies cover up his face
Makes you want to look away
Cannot take another day beneath this heat
Beneath this heat
The world is falling apart
And I know in my heart
I don't know what to do about it
The world is bigger than me
And I do not believe another human being
On the planet
The world, the world needs love
Love and nothing else can save us now
Black babies running from a big hairy elephant
I wish that I had the guts to save the day
Here come the preacher man he's telling
Us to run like mad
Leave everything you have and follow me
Dive in the water hole don't drink it in you know
You'll die from an overload of some disease
Dive in the water hole don't drink it in you know
You'll die from an overload of some disease
Some disease
See them kicking up the dust from miles away
I'm drinking Evian and wondering where the hell I am
Looking for the preacher man to just translate
To just translate (2 x's)
We're eating chicken feet
Swear it kind of tastes like meat
Waiting for the Masai chief to take us in
Flies cover up his face
Makes you want to look away
Cannot take another day beneath this heat
Beneath this heat
The world is falling apart
And I know in my heart
I don't know what to do about it
The world is bigger than me
And I do not believe another human being
On the planet
The world, the world needs love
Love and nothing else can save us now
Black babies running from a big hairy elephant
I wish that I had the guts to save the day
Here come the preacher man he's telling

You'll die from an overload of some disease
Dive in the water hole don't drink it in you know
You'll die from an overload of some disease
Some disease
