Hard Labour Lyrics

Next to the parking lot
Stood a man in uniform
He heard the wailing voice
And someone beg for mercy

Next to the market-stall
Stood a worried mother
Selling all her mangoes
For the price of magendo
(Magendo)

We were told about
The factory song
They had a promise
There would be a
Better day
My brothers found out
They were wrong
It had a melody that
Was filled with hard labour
(Hard labour)

Next to the fancy car
Stood a man in an overcoat
He doesn't see the crowd
He thinks only of his comfort

Next to the gravel pit
Stood a man in overalls
He has a mighty throw
The fruits of hard labour

We were told about
The factory song
They had a promise
There would be a
Better day
My brothers found out They were wrong
It had a melody that
Was filled with hard labour

Next to the police van
Stood a man in uniform
He sees an angry mob
But he is searching
For his brother

Next to the fallen man
Stood a worried father
He sees his eldest son
Whose fighting days are over

We were told about
The factory song
They had a promise
There would be a
Better day
My brothers found out
They were wrong
It had a melody that
Was filled with hard labour
(Hard labour)
(Hard labour)
(Hard labour)

(Hard labour)
(Hard labour)
(Hard labour)
(Hard labour)

(Hard labour)
(Hard labour)
(Hard labour)
(Hard labour)

(Hard labour)
(Hard labour)
(Hard labour...)
