[00:23.57]He's had bicycles and sons
[00:27.89]
[00:29.28]He's had salted fish and dark rum
[00:34.08]
[00:35.21]Now his days are almost done
[00:38.84]
[00:39.56]In the Lagos slums
[00:42.74]
[00:47.23]Was a farmer for a while
[00:51.59]
[00:53.01]Growing plantains by the coastline
[00:57.78]
[00:58.71]And some said he had a smile
[01:03.28]Like a movie star
[01:06.39]
[01:10.90]La ah La ah ah ah
[01:22.66]La ah La ah ah ah
[01:33.91]
[01:34.46]Met his wife one Friday night
[01:38.83]
[01:40.27]At a dance hall near the train tracks
[01:46.21]And his heart soared like a kite
[01:50.63]In the evening light
[01:54.35]
[01:57.96]Worked the oil fields once
[02:02.31]
[02:03.69]Saved some money for his family
[02:08.47]
[02:09.54]Built a house near Eden's Point
[02:14.30]Where they raised their boys
[02:17.35]
[02:21.84]La ah La ah ah ah
[02:33.44]La ah La ah ah ah
[02:45.15]Says it's hard to be a man
[02:49.67]
[02:51.19]Works and still can't feed his children
[02:55.65]
[02:56.98]But he does the best he can
[03:01.47]In the New World Plan
[03:04.66]
[03:09.08]We're all forgotten
[03:19.60]
[03:20.84]This road leads nowhere
[03:31.78]
[03:32.68]We're all forgotten
[03:43.53]
[03:44.49]This road leads nowhere
