Pula Falls

Verse 1

They sell us dreams on the television

Empty pockets watch the promises glow

Every morning the queue keeps on growing

Sons of our mothers with nowhere to go

Pre-Chorus

We rise before the sun

For a job that never comes

Chorus

Pula falls but the pockets stay dry

Hands empty while the speeches fly

They talk of hope on the parliament floor

But our youth still knock on a silent door

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Silent door

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

Credits run thin and the bread runs faster

The landlord's knocking before the month ends

Suit and tie wear the borrowed laughter

While the empty headlines just call us friends

Pre-Chorus

We rise before the sun

For a job that never comes

Chorus

Pula falls but the pockets stay dry

Hands empty while the speeches fly

They talk of hope on the parliament floor

But our youth still knock on a silent door

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Silent door

Bridge

Maata a rona

A re a boloka

(bana ba motho)

Re letse re letile

(empile ga go na)

Ga go na karabo

Chorus

Pula falls but the pockets stay dry

Hands empty while the speeches fly

They talk of hope on the parliament floor

But our youth still knock on a silent door

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Silent door

Oh-oh-oh

Silent door
