lyrics

Kalabuleman he said to the African child, you can't have food you can't have water you can't have shelter....
Kalabuleman he said to the African man, you have no human rights.
The one that Fela ha call am Zombie!

They call him Mr Shell, they call him Mr BP but we dey call him the Kalabuleman oh!
