A           E
I had no advantage over you
There was troubles and I had'em too
Just 'cause you're so strung out
Don't mean it can't work out

Chorus:
 E          A D A
Ba-ba-banana
This ain't Havana
Do you like bananas
 E
Ba-ba-bananas

Say you're a victim of society
You ask them for your mercy
Just like the cats in the garbage cans
When's their time coming, man?

D    A            E      A
You better offer some resistence
You better give up on my insistence
Things happen overnight
You don't give up without a fight

Chorus

You say you're poor and uneducated
You ain't gotta chance because you're hated
You're on your way to life's promotion
You hinder it with emotion
