Lyrics

In this part of Africa, we all have a saying – whenever something bad happens, we just throw our hands to the sky and say, "Hasa diga eebowai"!
 Hasa diga eebowai?
 It's the only way to get through all these troubled times. There's war, poverty, famine... but having a saying makes it all seem better!
 There isn't enough food to eat
 Hasa diga eebowai
 People are starving in the street
 Hasa diga Eeebowai
 Hasa diga eebowai!
 Hasa Diga Eebowai!
 Well, that's pretty neat!
 Does it mean no worries for the rest of our days?
 Kind of!
 We've had no rain in several days (Hasa diga eebowai!)
 And eighty percent of us have AIDS (Hasa diga eebowai!)
 Many young girls here get circumcised
 Their clits get cut right off (Way oh!)
 And so we say up to the sky
 Hasa diga eebowai!
 Hasa diga eebowai!
 Hasa diga eebowai!
 Now you try! Just stand up tall, tilt your head to the sky, and list off the bad things in your life
 Somebody took our luggage away (Hasa diga eebowai!)
 The plane was crowded and the bus was late (Hasa diga eebowai!)
 When the world is getting you down
 There's nobody else to blame (Way oh!)
 Raise your middle finger to the sky
 And curse his rotten name
 Wait, what?
 Hasa diga eebowai! (Hasa diga eebowai!)
 Am I saying that right?
 Excuse me, sir, but what exactly does that phrase mean?
 Well, let's see...'Eebowai' means 'God', and 'Hasa diga' means 'Fuck you'. So I guess in English it would be
 "Fuck you, god!" (Hasa diga eebowai!)
 What?!!
 When god fucks you in the butt (Hasa diga eebowai!)
 Fuck god back right in his cunt (Hasa diga eebowai!)
 Hasa diga eebowai! (Fuck you, god!)
 Hasa diga eebowai! (Fuck you, god!)
 Excuse me, sir, but you should really not be saying that. Things aren't always as bad as they seem
 Oh, really? Well, take this fucking asshole, Mutumbo, here. He got caught last week trying to rape a baby
 What!? Why?
 Some people in his tribe believe that having sex with a virgin will cure their AIDS. There aren't many virgins left, so some of them are turning to babies
 But... that's horrible!
 I know!
 (Hasa diga eebowai!)
 Here's the butcher, he has AIDS
 Here's the teacher, she has AIDS
 Here's the doctor, he has AIDS
 Here's my daughter she has A
 ...wonderful disposition!
 She's all I have left in the world
 And if either of you lays a hand on her –
 I will give you my AIDS!
 If you don't like what we say
 Try living here a couple days
 Watch all your friends and family die
 Hasa diga eebowai!
 Fuck you!
 Hasa diga eebowai!
 Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
 Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
 Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
 Fuck you in the eye!
 Hasa diga eebowai!
 Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
 Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
 Fuck you, god, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
 Hasa – fuck you in the other eye!
 Hasa diga eebowai!
 Fuck you, fuck you god
 Hasa diga eebowai!
 Fuck you, fuck you god
 Hasa diga eebowai!
 Fuck you, fuck you god
 Hasa diga!
 Fuck you god!
 In the cunt!
