Nemesis Fixx - A Better Uganda lyrics

[Intro] Who will tell Africa's story? Who will stand proudly and proclaim the greatness of this Continent? Who will love their own child even when they're sick? Who's ready to fight for a greater Africa, a greater Uganda? You are! ! Ah yeah Arch Nemesis loving Uganda [Hook] We need a better Uganda The land of the wonders Put your hands up If you're loving Uganda We need a better Uganda The land of the wonders Put your hands up If you're loving Uganda [Verse One] The 9th of October, 1962 After some dependence, we gained independence End of colonialism, british imperialism Birth of a nation, then our true ascendence All across Africa were the same power struggles Making history with the black victories Then Mutesa II became our first president Then came Milton Obote, 1966 Then Idi Amin Dada, king of the stigmata Then later on came the one Museveni The man with the power since 1986 And real headmaster of these politics The city is called Kampala, the code is 256 When you land in Entebbe, it's the Pearl of Africa When you drive into Jinja, it's the Source of the Nile And if it's Gulu where you at, celebrate Matthew Lukwiya [Hook] We need a better Uganda The land of the wonders Put your hands up If you're loving Uganda We need a better Uganda The land of the wonders Put your hands up If you're loving Uganda [Verse Two] The crested-crane is the emblem, we never complain We got the kob, nah, it's not all over the globe We got the drum, yeah, the true african drum We got the spears, the shield, true power revealed Lake Victoria is the third largest in the world And Mabira is the largest natural forest in Uganda The Mountain Rwenzori is the place of glory And the river Nile is the longest one in the world We got so much to see, so much to explore National parks delight, and make you come back Historical sites with more than you can ever write Archeological sites from back in the ancient nights Like the Bigo bya Mugenyi, the land of the Chwezi The first human beings to master mystical powers The land of the Great Bunyoro-Kitara It's Uganda of the Great, like the King Kabalega [Hook] We need a better Uganda The land of the wonders Put your hands up If you're loving Uganda We need a better Uganda The land of the wonders Put your hands up If you're loving Uganda [Verse Three] There's poverty eradication with the right education Need to teach more thinkers, really need innovators Teach kids to write books, not merely read them Educating boys and girls to build a greater nation Used to be a large producer of cotton and coffee But now that's all history like Colonel Gaddafi With everything we own now being made in China We need to wake up and, start producing for ourselves We got the Albertine oil, hoping it's a blessing We got salt in Katwe, since the dawn of time We got clean electric power, but there's still load shedding And we produce more sugar than we can pay for There's Africa all around us, let us celebrate her With religion and beliefs from our very own past Preserve the culture and languages of our own fathers And never let go of the science and tech [Hook] We need a better Uganda The land of the wonders Put your hands up If you're loving Uganda We need a better Uganda The land of the wonders Put your hands up If you're loving Uganda [Outro] Africa's greatest problem is a lack of self-pride, a Suppression of imagination and the refusal to celebrate and Encourage thinking We'll see more positive change if we turn off the TV set Than if we burn down the witch-doctor's shrine Let's go create a Nu Africa
