I'm living in a funny neighbourhood   The blackies and the whities try to get along   But here comes Johnny with divide and rule   He's always fucking up      But what do we do we go and vote them in   We give them power to destroy our lives for good   We never give ourselves to chance to be   Always looking up   Skunk Anansie      Skunk, skunk, skunk, skunk   Skunk, skunk, skunk, skunk   Skunk Anansie      And the police we give them so much power   We're givin' 'em guns, we're givin' 'em lives to blow away   And they protect us with their winning smiles   It's time to fuck them up      And how-do-we-do-that, how do we keep control   The first thing we must do is vote them out for good   Kick all the corrupt insatiable fuckers out   It's time for cooking up   Skunk Anansie
