TAPS RUN DRY (feat. AMARA JADE)

Verulam Phoenix oThongathi what a sight

Dry taps and dusty days ain't it a delight?

Kids in the morning no water to be found

Just dust and empty jugs all around

Water water where you at?

World's dancing to the tune while our pipes stay flat

Water water it's a laugh

Celebrating wet songs when we just need a bath

Promises falling like they're on sale at the market

All big talk but they ain't delivering okes

Buckets on heads walking miles for a sip

While they sing 'bout rivers our patience starts to slip

Oh the irony it's dripping down slow

Singing 'bout waterfalls our wells run low

Funny how they cheer while we search and sigh

Dancing in the dry spell wiping tears dry

Verulam aunties with their tongues out for rain

Phoenix uncles cracking jokes to ease the pain

Tongaat tannies still cooking without a pot

It's all a big joke yet we laugh a lot

Water water where you at?

World's dancing to the tune while our pipes stay flat

Water water it's a laugh

Celebrating wet songs when we just need a bath

Moms in the kitchen trying to cook a meal

No water for the curry now that's a raw deal

Kids take a bath with the splash of parent's tears

While the youth sing about her sweat and water we just wanna bath

Water water where you at?

World's dancing to the tune while our pipes stay flat

Water water it's a laugh

Celebrating wet songs when we just need a bath

So here's to the catchy tune that makes her water whilst we're out here fighting for water

Phoenix oThongathi we'll make it through the false promises

Dancing on their egos 'til the taps flow with running water

Water water where you at?

World's dancing to the tune while our pipes stay flat

Water water it's a laugh

Celebrating wet songs when we just need a bath

Water water where you at?

World's dancing to the tune while our pipes stay flat

Water water it's a laugh

Celebrating wet songs when we just need a bath

Water water where you at?

World's dancing to the tune while our pipes stay flat

Water water it's a laugh

Celebrating wet songs when we just need a bath

Water water where you at?

World's dancing to the tune while our pipes stay flat

Water water it's a laugh

Celebrating wet songs when we just need a bath
