lyrics

We no hear your lying
We no hear your lying
We no hear your lying
We no hear your lying
repeat

Hey we see the world through the eyes of a new-born you warn fool with disguises
It’s a new dawn full moon risin’ with you two sides of the truth you lyin’
You don’t wanna be the crooked cop that took those shots and made a younger drop
You wanna get the looks you got when crooks get caught for runnin’ drugs on blocks
Look we see the world through the eyes of a baby ‘n’ they say you shouldn’t try it
This is daybreak and who can deny it with you two sides of the truth you lyin’
You don’t wanna be a bitch to the boys, promiscuous broad, a vixen, a whore
You wanna be sittin’ alone in sync with your soul and feel like you’re whole
Dreamin’ and reachin’ your goals cos even just dreamin’ is equal to gold

We see the world through the eyes of an infant imprint left on my mind
It’s a different world we in now, with you two sides of the truth they lyin’
They don’t wanna be the high low shelves and the far low wells of a buy and sell life
They wanna be the Michael Phelps, the highs are felt when you prize yourself right
Dreamin’ and reaching your goals, cos even just dreamin’ is equal to gold
We see the world through the eyes of a youth reduced to salutin’ their environment
These are the rules you should abide by: see two sides of the truth then bye bye

We no hear your lying
We no hear your lying
We no hear your lying
We no hear your lying

Inspired by the infectious afro-beat music of Nigeria and its neighbours, The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra delivers contemporary African funk to Australian dancefloors. The band’s powerful MCs and tribal rhythms are the modern-day “musical weapon” that Fela Kuti conceived of. Their conscious lyrics and West African grooves are relevant today, while remaining faithful to the message of afro-beat. ... more
