1984 Lyrics

Ke mots'eare

Oa bo 12:00PM

Because kea hopola ho no jooa lunch tjena

Ho tsuoe kerekeng

Se ba khutla ka lithunya

Khutla-

Eaba ba mo nkile

Kea kholoa o na nyamele-

Ne ntse ke le ka Fokothi ka nako eno

O na nyamele re sa tsebe na-

Because kea hopola ne re mmatle Mafeteng mapoleseng mono

Ba re "ao, ha ho na motho ea joalo ea fihlileng"

Ka ea Maseru

Ha ke fihla Maseru ka ea Police Headquarters mane

Ka botsa ntate eo ho no thoe ke Ntate Lerotholi

Eo ke ne ke mo tseba

O na re feela, "hell, Moeketsi, o re ntate oa hau-

Banna, e se ke mpe eaba o nkuoe ke batho bana, meleko ena-"

A re, "e se ke mpe eaba o nkuoe ke meleko ena ea batho"

A batla, a fumana ha a eo

A ba re "a-e, re tla nne re batle

Re utloe na ho etsahalang ke eng"

Ke ne ke ee ka sekolong ka maane ke i'lo ba tsebisa hore, "You guys-"

Eh, ke joetsa Director hore,

"Hey, ke tla ba sieo, re hlahetsoa ke bothata ke bona

Ke sa khutlela hae"

Kea kholoa ha re fihla mona, e ne be letsatsi leno-

Kapa ne ba mo tlise ka mora matsatsi a mahlano?

Ba ne ba kene le eena mona

Ba tsoa tjena-

Not even Lemony Snicket could write a series so unfortunate

Better grab a seat

Police at the door while the family eats

But they don't give a damn

They was packing the heat

Took a man for his kids and a wife, what a life, this ain't right

Wonder would it could be

Said that he did but he didn't, but they wouldn't listen

I'll take you right back to the scene

Never known to be rowdy, a man of his word

Profession was medicine, he was a farmer

Man of the land and his kids understood that compared to their father

Nobody worked harder

This was a time in the country when innocent lives were taken

Families ruined forever

Wonder when it'll get better

They beat him until he couldn't get up

But he wouldn't let up

Said he was hiding the weapons at home

Oliver couldn't imagine the twist

Back at the house and they took him behind it

They didn't have to throw him off the cliff

Tried to deny it but neighbors, they saw it

Said that he slipped and he ended up falling

Denied the family from seeing the body

Meanwhile they were hiding a homie

Motho eno e ne e se le motho oa lipolitiki at all

It's just that e ne e le leCongress and-

Ne ba mo nke, ba tsoa le eena

O re oa ea ka kamoreng, a re o 'lo bona mme ka mane

Ba mo hanela, ba tsoa le eena

E ne re ha batho ba hlaha

Ba hanela batho ba tla ba tlo shebella na ho etsahala eng, akere

Ba ba hanele

Kea kholoa e ne re ka mora-

Not even 20 minutes

E mong a tla a re "motho eno oa lona o itihetse ka selomong ka mane"

Mind you, motho enoa o escort'uoe

Ba ka pele, ka mahlakoreng

Ba ka morao, neh?

Feela ba re o itihetse

(Yeah)

At the time he was only a student

Never thought of the day he would lose him

Took his dad, brought him back and abused him

Took his brother, but they let him live

Mama almost lost one of her kids

Went to school, heard the cops, they were looking

Said a teacher told him he should book it

Now he's hiding but finding his brother was all that was on his mind

Losing his hope in the Lord by the day but he prays for a way, saying

"Show me a sign"

All in due time

Both of his sisters they worry and mama's doing what she could

Why they were targeted? Nobody knew

Sweet little lady, she taught at a school

Now back to the story

He met a lady, she knew more than most

Knew what to do, she told him where to go

Said that his brother would be coming home

Told him to bring her a piece of his clothes

Said he should leave and he'll see it unfold

Maybe it's voodoo or maybe it's God

The world is so cruel, tell me when will it stop?

Joale, ha u le mona

Motse o morao mola

Batho khale, khale-

Batho ba mahaeng mona ba ne ba rata ho lula lilomong mono

Oa bona moo, moo-

Oa bona moo re leng hona teng

Batho ba ne ba lula hona mono

Oa ba fumana ntse ba bapala morabaraba

Ba ba bone

Re tlo joetsoa ke batho bano morao mane

So, eena o na apere jersey e khubelu

That's how they spotted him ha ho so hlaha-

Ho utloahala ho thoe monga mona haa sa phela

Joale batho bano ba re, "a-e bo, batho bano re ba bone"

Mola moo ntse ke re ausi, tlo theohe u tlo nka lifoto o ntso re "heh heh heh"

Batho bana ba theohetse le eena, right?

Ba theohetse, ba ea ka mane ka lehaheng

Ha ba fihla ka mono, ba bang ba eme ba katile ka holimo ka mona

Ba bone ho so ho-

E se eka ho na le-

Akere, the air is distant, ha u bone hantle

Ba bone ho na le commotion-nyana e bang mono

Ha ba re, ba bona motho eane ea ntho e khubelu a sa oela

One-two, kae-kae ke ha ha ba se ba-

Bona bane ba nyoloha ba tla ka holimo ka mona

One-two, ba bona motho e mong ke eno oa tla

Athe ke nako eo a tlo re tsebisa more hore ba re motho eno itihetse

Athe motho eno ha a itihela
