It's Nearly Africa

[Verse 1]

Chant your spirit free

Rush to greet truth like a dart

Shake your bag of bones

Shake your bag of bones

That's not traffic roar

That's a leopard in your heart

Shake your bag of bones

Shake your bag of bones

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Go tell your stale friends

Go tell false prophets and drug traffickers

Not to try to push our bodies any faster

Cause we're dancing with disaster

And the first will be the last

[Chorus]

It's nearly Africa, whay-oh

It's nearly Africa, whay-oh

Any day now

Any day now, now

Any day now

Any day now, now

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now

[Verse 2]

Unplug future plans

Finger-paint the sun on you

Shake your bag of bones

Shake your bag of bones

Mend your missing links

I think trust could be the glue

Shake your bag of bones

Shake your bag of bones

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Go tell your warboys

Go tell all leeches and blind panickers

Not to try to push your bodies any faster

Cause we're dancing with disaster

And the first will be the last

[Chorus]

It's nearly Africa, whay-oh

It's nearly Africa, whay-oh

Any day now

Any day now, now

Any day now

Any day now, now

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now

[Bridge]

Our civilization car is running wild

Who did you give the whee-whee-wheel to?

The fat man driving us over the edge of the nearest cliff-face

Is he the same God that I've seen you kneel to?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Go tell your stale friends

Go tell false prophets and drug traffickers

Not to try to push our bodies any faster

Cause we're dancing with disaster

And the first will be the last

[Chorus]

It's nearly Africa, whay-oh

It's nearly Africa, whay-oh

Any day now

Any day now, now

Any day now

Any day now, now

Any day now

Any day now, now

Any day now

Any day now, now

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now

[Outro]

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now

Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)

Any day now, now
