Two shifts to pay the rent
No sleep, used up and spent
Squalor, water and bread
Grey skies but I'm seeing red
While in Zimbabwe the bread turns to dust
Logarithmic inflation by the hour
Same jobs for a living wage
A roof and a bed, water and bread
While in Zimbabwe the worker is dead
Hundreds, then thousands, now millions are dead
