Steam ship sail down the river
Fight the mosquitoes
that lie in the swamp
White smoke cover the jungle
see Dr. Livingston
land with a thump
Down where the sad widows gather[G#/C]

Young women weep for their dying babies
I am a white man in Africa
C+sus2/Ab G# C+sus2/Ab G#
If I were to stay here there’d be
no one to save me /

I hear the drums, I know it’s urgent
I hear sur- vival in his hands
Switch to record, I get the picture
But I will never under- stand

How there is love in his face
In the midst of all this waste

[Bb7sus4]
In the Mozambique sun under the gun
I hear the drums,
I hear survival in his hands,
I hear the drums
There is a curse upon this land
Hear the drums, know it’s urgent
Hear sur- vival in his hands
Hit re- cord get the picture,
I will never under- stand

Left all a- lone in a warzone,

The hour is late and the thought of my bed
Makes me tired and ready for sleep
So tell me about all the places you go
All the lies that you swallow The people you keep
Viva the monastery, That’s where I wanna be
wrestle my soul!
