The policemen are taking position
The students are looking for justice again
Drawing their lines in the sand
Each waiting to see who's a man
They're choking on mounting frustration
Mourning the state of the nation
Their hearts are aflame
Their blood is on fire
Stones start to fly
Politicians deny
Tell me who is to blame?
Who is behind this?
Who is in the shadows?
Who lights the flame
Of this raging inferno
And watches from high windows?
What we need is justice justice
Will you come help me find it?
What we need is justice justice
Will you come help me find it?
Teachers are running matatus
Trying to make an extra shilling or two
The progress of students it means nothing
When there's no bread on the table
No money for shoes
So they take to the streets in desperation
Saying that something isn't right with this equation
But the singing is stifled by rungus and rifles
Unifromed police here to keep the calm and peace
So who is to blame?
Who is behind this?
Who is in the shadows?
Who lights the flame
Of this raging inferno
And watches from high windows?
What we need is justice, justice
Oh our leaders help us, help us
Oh our leaders help
Oh our leaders help us, help us
Oh our leaders help
Huyo, huyo, huyo!
Huyo msaliti, huyo!
The policemen are taking position
The farmers are looking for justice again
And if farmers are bleeding
There can't be any feeding
Leaving us hungry
Longing for justice
Who is to blame?
Who is behind this?
Who is in the shadows?
Who lights the flame
Of this raging inferno
And watches from high windows?
Oh our leaders help us
There's someone trying to enslave us
What we need is justice, justice
Will you come help me find it?
Huyo, huyo, huyo!
Huyo msaliti, huyo!
Huyo, huyo, huyo!
Huyo msaliti, huyo!
