lyrics

I live in Addis Ababa I drive a taxi cab
I drink nescafe the cream goes to the USA
I was a conscript for the Eritrea war
I laid mines down people still step on 'em now
it was a nil-nil war a nil-nil war
now I just try to get by
I'm in a bar band in Cleveland
Saturdays I play bass weekdays I'm a teller at Chase
just before my boy was born I deployed for the war
I saw gore I lost brothers and my wife to her lover
I was a romantic before so romantic
now I just try to get by
when heads of state cast that die
guess who does their bidding
