Sleeping Dogs Lyrics - Lucky Dube

I' m ready to be happy 

I' ve been down too long 

It' s time to rise above it all 

I put a big smile across my face as 

I walk down joy street yeah 

Follow me if you can 

But leave all the burdens behind 

Don' t look to the past 

It' ll make you passteristik 

Look to the future 

It' ll make you futuristik 

Hey mister! Hey sir! 

Don' t open that cupboard 

I don' t want no skeletons falling out 

I don' t want no bones falling out 

I don' t want my past 

Catching up with me 

'Cause I' m happy oh...... 

Chorus: 

Let sleeping dogs lie 

I see two men in the street 

Holding hands and kissing 

The other one looks 

The other one smiles 

When the other one smiles 

The other one blushes 

I didn' t wanna know 

What' s going on 

As long as they' re happy 

I don' t wanna look up to politicians 

They' re gonna feed me 

Political bull 

And I will have 

Political diarrhoea 

Don' t look to the past 

It' ll make you passteristik 

( Don' t look it up - 

Me just made it up ) 

Look to the future 

It' ll make you futuristik 

Hey mister! Hey sir! 

Don' t open that cupboard 

I don' t want no bones falling out 

Chorus till fade
