I saw a dead man In Oshodi
He was lying on the street dead
Yet nobody cared
His body was decaying
His eyes were budging
Yet nobody cared

The lawyers passed by
The soldiers walked by
The policemen passed by
The traders strolled by
Yet nobody cared

The politicians passed by with sirens
The clergy men passed by too
The kids were too scared to look
The ladies wanted to puke

I saw a dead man I Oshodi
Warms were dinning all over his body
The dead man was help less
Yet everybody cared less
His corpse was stinking
The maggots were dancing
The flies were rejoicing

The professors passed by too
It was there I saw it too
He was dead
Yet nobody cared

By night the vultures came
And the dead man became their game
Still nobody cared
I saw a dead man I oshodi
Yet nobody cared
