This blatant criticism of the political landscape of Africa is a theme long embraced by Dimitri & The Scarecrow. The first verse assumes a cynical satire where the subject being addressed is held up by fear as opposed to respect. Considering the rhythmic sense of time signature and syncopated rhyme patterns, this verse is a divisive means to separate or ironically segregate generations. The youth are often viewed as more frivolous than sensible and the elders as wise and a sturdy hand to guide the future. So why are they firing bullets at concerned citizens, brutalising them with police violence or blatantly killing them mercilessly?! The second verse then alludes to the elders in fact being leaches with far more insidious agendas but remember, speaking up may just lead to one's demise. The chorus is one which is driven by optimism and the Scarecrow is giving you the news that you lack.
