ASA


FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN
Chorus
There is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh there is fire on the mountain top and nobody is running

I wake up in the morning
Tell you what I see on my TV screen
I see the blood of an innocent child and everybody's watching
Now am looking out my window
And what do I see
I see an army of a soldier man matching across the street

Hey Mr soldier man
Tomorrow is the day you go to war
But you are fighting for another man's cause
And you don't even know him

What did he say to make you so blind?
To you conscience and reason
Could it be love for your country?
Or for the gun you use in killing

Repeat Chorus

He Mr Lover man
Can I get a chance to talk to you?
Cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse
And you don't know what you do

So you say you have a lover
And you love her like no other
So you buy her a diamond
That someone has died on
Don't you think there something wrong with this

Tell me who's responsible for what we teach our children
Is it the internet?
Or the stars on television
Why o why o

So little Lucy turns sixteen
And like the movie she's been seeing
She has a lover in her daddy
She can't tell nobody till she makes the evening news

One day the river will over flow
And there'll be nowhere for us to go
And we will run, run
Wishing we had put out the fire

JAILER
Am in chains you’re in chains too
I wear uniforms, you wear uniforms too
Am a prisoner, you’re a prisoner too, Mr Jailer

I have fears you have fear too
I will die, you sef go die too
Life is beautiful, don’t you think so too Mr Jailer

Am talking to you jailer
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin - be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer

You suppress all my strategy
You oppress every part of me
What you don’t know, you’re a victim too Mr Jailer

2x
You don’t care about my point of view
If I die another will work for you
So you treat me like a modern slave Mr Jailer

If you walking in a market place, don’t throw stones
Even if you do, you just might hit one of your own
Life is not about your policies all the time
So you better rearrange your philosophies and be good to your fellow man jailer

I hear my baby say I wan be president
I wan chop money from my government
What he don’t know be say Mr Jailer

BIBANKE
I wake up I see you as you leave
I feel it, I see it As you leave
When we kiss I want deep but you're far away.

Chorus
Bim ba n ke bo ban shun
Fi mi si le
Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro
Fi mi si le

He used to be my every thing
Treated me like I was a queen
What spell did u cast on me?
Or is it the make believe

You say girl never be afraid
Of ever ever loving me
Those words I hung on too
Oh God I was a fool
You became my bad habit
Keeping up appearances, so you could notice

Even when you suddenly picked your things
And left the keys, now its crazy

Repeat Chorus

Bim ba n ke oh oh oh oh
Ko kun ba si a
Mo ti foro mi fo lu wa
Ko sho, ko sho wa
Mo ti foro mi fo lu wa
Ko sho, ko sho wa

Iwo iwo ni ko, sho sho (repeat)

When I'm crying
When I'm dying, just leave me alone
I could cry you a river
Or a waterfall
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone

SUBWAY

Every day is not a holiday
My life's like a subway o
I know this love don't last

Look at me tell me what you see
Do you believe this love is real o
I know this love don't last

I have come from faraway
To see this go down the drain
I have waited patiently
And this is what I get
Emotionally failing me

My whole wild world is caving in
I try so hard to express myself but the woman in me
Oh oh oh don't fade away

Chorus
My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love you, oh oh oh oh
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say oh, I love you, oh oh

Now you asking me to trust you
Tell me how am I supposed to
When I know this love don't last
Could this be the kind of love?
That my mum use to warn me about
How will I know that this love will last
I have come from far away
To see this go down the drain
I have got so much to give
But I don't know what I'll get
Emotionally failing me
My whole wild world is caving in
I try so hard to express my self but
The woman in me don't fade away

Repeat Chorus till fade

NO ONE KNOWS

Just the other day, the other day
I was talking to the weather man
About today oh oh oh
And all,all he could say
Was no one knows tomorrow

See I can read the weather child
I can say maybe the rain will fall
The sun will shine oh oh ohh….
But that’s as far as my story goes

Cos no one knows tomorrow
Oh oh ha…no one knows tomorrow

Tell me what’s the need
To go to war/all the killings
Just to settle some one else’s score o o o
When the victory isn’t even sure
No one knows tomorrow

See, we can study history
and philosophy and Plato’s ideology
oh oh ohh…
But tomorrows still a mystery oh oh ohh

No one know tomorrow Oh oh ha…
no one knows tomorrow

Tomorrow is your opportunity to fail
Or be successful if you please, yes indeed

Tomorrow is a politician’s today
it’s the victim of decision
and the future of our children

So if I die someday,
Will I be in heavenly places ?
Singing halleluiah with an angel

On the piano or will I be
Just another contribution
To the earth, the tress, the grasses

As tomorrow slowly passes
No one know….no one knows
