The song is set up from the point of view of a news correspondent. Reuters is an international news agency based in London. This song propagates a lot of imagery, potentially of a war torn country or a country that has fallen into anarchy.
Our own correspondent is sorry to tell
Of an uneasy time, that all is not well
On the borders there's movement
In the hills, there is trouble
Food is short, crime is double
Prices have risen since the government fell
Casualties increase as the enemy shell
The climate's unhealthy, flies and rats thrive
And sooner or later the end will arrive
This is your correspondent, running out of tape
Gunfire's increasing, looting, burning, rape!
(Rape
Rape
Rape)
Rape!
(Rape
Rape
Rape)
