Edward Kofi Louis - Tradition

Tradition is just like one-way traffic over here,
And you can't change the minds of the people around;
For their lives are programmed like a robot.

The law is very difficult for them to obey,
And it is all about a different culture and different people;
But their lives are always programmed like robots.

The tradition over here is very strange to me!
And you can't change the very minds of these people;
But at times, it is just like broken pottery in the hands.
