Bujumbura Lyrics

Bujumbura lyrics

by Warren Zevon c. 1996 (?) Zevon Music/BMI



Who's the Tutsi? 

Who's the Hutu? 

Why'd you shoot Kabushemeye?

Wish you'd never left the rugo 

Whatcha doing in Bujumbura?



Life is fragile, we are frail 

Here today and gone tomorrow 

We don't want to live in jail 

Been to hell in Bujumbura



Sans Echecs and Sans Defaite 

Killing in the streets 

Why don't no one stop it? 

Why don't no one speak? 

Mr. Bhoutrous-Bhoutrous Ghali, 

give us all some reassurance 

Why don't all the nations rally 

Bring the peace to Bujumbura



Sans Echecs and Sans Defaite 

Killing in the streets 

Why don't no one stop it? 

Why don't no one speak? 

Who's the Tutsi? 

Who's the Hutu? 

Why'd you shoot Kabushemeye? 

Wish you'd never left the rugo 

Whatcha doing in Bujumbura?

...in Bujumbura 

Whatcha doing in Bujumbura?
