I saw you on the TV screen

Profiteers run the Ethiopia scene

Ask boy George and Duran Duran

big cash money puts hits in their hands



Now you don't want to talk to me

Now you don't want to look like me

See me or be like me

Well read between the lines

when I say...



Forget about ethiopia

Forget about ethiopia

Forget about ethiopia

the whole things a bloody failure



Send money here and send money there

our livid country makes starve it's ware

why do we ignore our own poor?

With rich rock stars {celebrity wars}



Now you don't want to talk to me

and don't want to be like me

read between the lines and you might see

why I feel this way

when I say...



forget about ethiopia

forget about ethiopia

forget about ethiopia

big political scam



TV Christians gone to hell

You've got your cash lined padded cell

Now you've got something else to do

Now you've found someone hungry to screw



And you don't want to talk to me

Look like me or be like me

Read between the lines you'll understand me

Why I feel this way when I say...



Forget about ethiopia

Forget about ethiopia

Forget about ethiopia

The whole bloody thing is a scam



Forget about ethiopia

Forget about ethiopia

Forget about ethiopia

Big political failure



Oh feel sorry for me, send me money.
