I saw you on the TV screen
Profiteers run the Ethiopia scene
Ask boy George and Duran Duran
big cash money puts hits in their hands

Now you don't want to talk to me
Now you don't want to look like me
See me or be like me
Well read between the lines
when I say...

Forget about ethiopia
Forget about ethiopia
Forget about ethiopia
the whole things a bloody failure

Send money here and send money there
our livid country makes starve it's ware
why do we ignore our own poor?
With rich rock stars {celebrity wars}

Now you don't want to talk to me
and don't want to be like me
read between the lines and you might see
why I feel this way
when I say...

forget about ethiopia
forget about ethiopia
forget about ethiopia
big political scam

TV Christians gone to hell
You've got your cash lined padded cell
Now you've got something else to do
Now you've found someone hungry to screw

And you don't want to talk to me
Look like me or be like me
Read between the lines you'll understand me
Why I feel this way when I say...

Forget about ethiopia
Forget about ethiopia
Forget about ethiopia
The whole bloody thing is a scam

Forget about ethiopia
Forget about ethiopia
Forget about ethiopia
Big political failure

Oh feel sorry for me, send me money
