Lyrics

o hey ho living in domes 
open air homes 
effortless tone 
eagle has flown 
cover's been blown 
living in domes 
and what you can see is not what we could become 
hosanna! 

stone by stone build a new home 
on the land that no man can share 
zone by zone raising the tone 
in a place where the people stare 
wear and tear mama don't care 
held your own on the touching stone 
hey ho hey ho living in domes 

working to the rhythm of an intellect that's driven by greed 
under domes it's a different kind 
concentrate to listen for the rondo that we christen King Speed 
swaying, double trouble left behind 
smoke of human sacrifices 
broken promise money vices 
no one moves and no one cares 
and no one says they're living in squares 

and what you can see is not what we could become 
hosanna! 

lost and found inherited ground 
in a place where the statesmen are 
round and round circular sound 
we're the beat spectacular 
colour bar afrikan star 
and your feet don't touch the ground 
hey ya hay ya you will go far

Commentary

"As an interesting side fact, a band called the Rah Bras released a CD in 1999 titled 'Concentrate To Listen For The Rondo That We Christen King Speed', a reference to the lyrics of this song."
