This song, from Rancid’s 2000 self-titled album, discusses the 1994 Rwandan genocide, an inter-ethnic conflict that left between 500,000 and a million people dead.
Rwanda, yeah your moon shines bright
Rwanda, over planned genocide
Rwanda, won't you be strong?
Like a lion
Tune in the transistor, listen to the news 'cause
Once a week it hits you, heartbroken and blue
It's the voice over Africa, so stop peregrination
So listen very closely to half a million dead souls
Rwanda, yeah your moon shines bright
Rwanda, over planned genocide
Rwanda, won't you be strong?
Like a lion
It's complicated when facts come in slow
Mass destruction, mass confusion
What's the difference to the orphan or to all the dead
When no more machine guns strike and there's silence instead
Rwanda, yeah your moon shines bright
Rwanda, over planned genocide
Rwanda, won't you be strong?
Like a lion
Rwanda was written by Tim Timebomb.
