MEN ON BLACK
Knight of the printed or paper sky
You pay and sly
They flee when strange bullets fly
You pay or you park
Then credentials be provided in packs
While you delay your dance,
Knights release their fans
They enjoy the song
Required sounds don't play along
Be patriotic, and your journey prolong
Then eventually you belong
No one is wrong
In the innocents they are strong
Abeg, who get Sky for there?
Their just entitlement for a beer
Be nice to them dear
Men on black are your friends
Don't pay then you offend
Bail of gifts exchange a crime legend
This brings a criminal case to an end
While Innocents they reprehend
This isn't what our people recommend
Therefore, we need amend
Obviously, knights buy their own shoes
Hence, who are these fingers pointing to?
