On the radio on the TV on the news
Everywhere we go
We hear of stories already told
Of rapes, hijackings, robberies and murders
Not escaping any all young and old
Our corrupt leaders are being brought to trial
Too soon released – what’s the message being passed
Publicized in media campaigns
Are the statistics and increasing crime rates
In denial is our President
Comfortable in his seclusion
How will he see
That this crime is affecting you and me
