You ride in my taxi
I take you down the road
I am the mule
And you are my load
You are here on business
I am a refugee
When will your country
Free my country?
Can you free us
without putting us in your chains?
What we have put together
Will you take away?
Will you put your logo
Across our industries?
When your country
Frees my country
We had a great leader
Who knew what he was doin
When he passed away
His successor led us to ruin
Every voice raised against him
Was silenced by death
so I crossed the border
With my fellow patriots
We long for the day
When we can go back
Without fear of reprisal
Or backstabbing attacks
But I fear that your freedom
Is part of a scheme
To make us the victims
Of your regime
You ride in my taxi
I take you down the road
I am the mule
And you are my load
You are here on business
I am a refugee
When will your country
Free my country?
