Hearing only bad news
 From radio Africa
 I'm hearing only bad news
 From radio Africa
 They've still got trouble
 With a monster in the south
 Heads buried deep
 In that lion's mouth
 Like a jaw snapped shut
 It keeps them apart
 If that jaw got broke it
 Would be a start
 I'm hearing only bad news
 From radio Africa
 I'm hearing only sad news
 From radio Africa
 The West still complains
 About the foreign aid
 They'd do better to change
 Ihe terms of trade
 It's more tanks than food
 In the Ogaden
 It looks like Moscow
 Got it wrong again
 I'm hearing only bad news

 I'm hearing only sad news
 Mozambique and Mugabe
 Still got Frelimo I hear them say
 But exchange means (exchange means)
 Recession means (recession means)
 It all means harder to take
 Tanzania should be moving up a gear
 Instead they've got to step on the brake
 (I'm hearing only bad news)
 So many movements have come this far
 (I'm hearing only bad news)
 But lending means, interest means it's harder to fight
 (I'm hearing only bad news)
 Independence has a hidden expense
 (I'm hearing only bad news)
 When the hands on the purse strings are white
