Naive


The story was hopeless
The sign had been posted
He said to his mother
I think I’m going under

They all heard the sirens
The people were crying
He said to his father
I’m not sure I can take this one much further

Well, they call him naïve
Call him a saint and a sinner
All he could say
I’m both a loser and a winner

They call him naïve
Call him a saint and a sinner
All he could say
I’m both a loser and a winner

Hayi we baba mus' uk'sokolisa
Isisila senkuku sibonwa mhla ligquthayo yo oh oh
Hayi we baba mus' uk'sokolisa
Isisila senkuku sibonwa mhla ligquthayo yo oh oh

The train left the station
The people were growing impatient
He said to his followers
I’m not sure I can lead you much longer

They call him naïve
Call him a saint and a sinner
All he could say
I’m both a loser and a winner

They call him naïve
They call him a saint and a sinner
All he could say
I’m both a loser and a winner

Hayi we baba mus' uk'sokolisa
Isisila senkuku sibonwa mhla ligquthayo yo oh ohIsisila senkuku sinbonahlai kutha yo oh oh
Hayi we baba mus' uk'sokolisa
Isisila senkuku sibonwa mhla ligquthayo yo oh ohIsisila senkuku sinbonahlai kutha yo oh oh

They call him naïve, they call him a fool
They told him exactly what he must do
They call him naïve, they call him a thief
They told him exactly what he must be
They call him naïve, they call him insane
They told him exactly what he must say
They call him naive

Lightning struck the tower
The old ones fell from power
The story began again
When will it ever, ever end?

They call him naïve
Call him a saint and a sinner
All he could say
I’m both a loser and a winner

They call him naïve
Call him a saint and a sinner
All he could say
I’m both a loser and a winner
