Afrikaner Barista
Here again, here again, here again, here again
Swept in with the rush of revenants
who need to get amphetamized
Some mistake you for Australian
You correct the ones you like
Here again, here again, here again, here again
The wit is closely calibrated
to summon out a blushing smile
I know exactly where you’re from but
I wanna be the one you like
African African
Afrikaner barista
Here again, here again, here again, here again
Blood bloody subjugation
The history between us now
But origin’s not destination
You gotta move on somehow
African African
Afrikaner barista
barista
I wanna be the one you like…
