The Malawi Song

Posted in Overall, Ideas, Ridiculous by Dom on February 3rd, 2007

This is the first song I wrote and it’s my perspective on life here along with a lot of inside jokes.

Here I am in Malawi
Playing this box, just happy to be
Here to help all these chillin’
out kickin’ back and having a beer

Ready to rock let’s have some fun
In this land of lake and sun
been here too long can’t wait to sima
-ther, father, loved ones

1,2 or 3 years who can say
Right now I just want to eat drink and play
Sessions and processing always suck
I’d rather be eating sima, carrying water on my head and doing a malaria slide all at the same time

Waking up to the rooster’s crow
I want to kill it by the afternoon
kid’s yelling through the market
“Iwe, azungu, AZUNGU!”

Life ain’t fun but that’s ok
Cause their’s no one making me stay
Things aren’t so bad though for me
Hmm, mmmm, mmmmmmmmmmmmm, form 3…

A-A-Anxiety
Sure won’t let me feel very free
But my brain is just reminding me
That it could be the mef and not just me

Spiders and scorpions
We all know aren’t very much fun
So we asked Dr. Max, are we doomed
You know what he said? PAIN PAIN PAIN! PAIN FOR YOU!

So yeah, that’s pretty much it, It’s fun and easy. Maybe I’ll play it for you one day.
