Laurie Sarkadi - Diamonds Lyrics
Official




There's a hunter going to Hollywood
He left Africa trying to spread the word
About a drought in the Kalahari
There's plenty of rain there's just no people
He says he'd like to carry on
Bring bow to arrow like his father's done
Like his father's done from day one
Like his father's done and never undone
But the government and its corporate bosses
Only care about their profits and their losses
From Africa to Denendeh
Mining shiny gems where they used to pray
There's diamonds beneath the Kalahari grasses
And corporate greed exceeds the needs of the masses
So they pushed the people from the land that held their dances
Now there's diamonds underground there's just no people
'Cause the government and its corporate bosses
Only care about their profits and their losses
From Africa to Denendeh
Mining shiny gems where they used to pray
There's diamonds in Denendeh
Beneath the rock and ice where caribou once played
Now giant holes leave giant tolls for the earth to pay
They took the diamonds but the Dene had a say
They didn't let the government and its corporate bosses
Only care about their profits and their losses
So don't let the government and its corporate bosses
Only care about their profits and their losses
From Africa to Denendeh
Mining shiny gems where they used to pray
From Africa to Denendeh
Mining shiny gems where they used to pray
There's a praying mantis in my candlelight
There's a praying mantis in my children's walk
There's a praying mantis inside of me
There's a praying mantis saying free me
