Verse 1:
Man from tivoli and payneland, august town, papine and juezland,
Poor people want compensation, waterhouse, seaview and riverton,

Grant them a new elevation, babylon a slave us from birth and creation,
Ghetto people have the rights to survival, we need security for the new generation,
Out of many people we are one nation, we need repartuation, whoa now.
