I sit at home and I watch TV
You break the news so gently
Another cut, another blow
Your promises are empty

I know how much you need my vote
But I don't know who to trust
Cause you still have the chauffeur bra
And I've just missed my bus

I write my songs, obey the law
Pay taxes through my nose
The more I earn, the less I have
That's how the story goes

Check it out, check it out, check
Check it out, bra, check it out
Nothing's really changed
The rich are getting richer
And the poor remain the same
The poor remain the same

The innocent are murdered
The criminals escape
You blame it on apartheid
While the country's getting raped

There's a cloud over the rainbow
The nation waits in vain
In shanty towns and cardboard boxes
As you wave from your gravy train

Hey, I write my songs, obey the law
Pay taxes through my nose
The more I earn, the less I have
That's how the story goes

Check it out, check it out, check it out
check it out bra, check it out
Nothing, nothing's changed
The rich keep getting richer
And the poor remain the same
Check it out bra, check it out
Nothing, nothing's changed
The rich keep getting richer
And the poor remain the same
The poor remain the same
The poor remain the same

I know how much you need my vote
But I don't know who, who to trust
Cause you still have that chauffeur bra
I'm waiting for the bus
I'm waiting for the bus
Just waiting for the bus
I'm waiting, I'm waiting x2

Just waiting
Check it out bra, check it out
Nothing, nothing's changed
The rich just keep getting richer
And the poor remain the same
Check it out bra, check it out
Nothing, nothing's changed
The rich keep getting richer
The poor remain the same x2
