about

Firstly let us clear one thing up, this song is not anti-ANC it rather speaks to the ideals of the liberation movement and asks if this is what we fought for. Being anti-ANC is so 1998 and we try our best to not be stuck on the Groundhog day antics of celebrating youth culture and the lack of evolution. The so called “apathetic voter” is the common experience right now as there is no one to vote for. This song is sang in the voice of such an apathetic voter who wants to vote and wants to get involved in the political process however understands that the caliber of our parties dwindles with every election. Either that or we as a citizenry have come to understand our value in this free and democratic country.
Our country is celebrating 20 years of democrazy next year, and in the very same year we exercise the democratic right that our elders fought for. The difference this time is that our one party that has been running the country is in trouble. The youth’s leadership(Julius Malema and company) of that youth are themselves seen to be part of the same ruling elite that has undermined the momentum of this dream set in action by the fall of the Berlin Wall and the release of Nelson Mandela. With Tata Mandela’s condition being one that lacks the respect it deserves we find ourselves going to vote for the 4th time next year yet there is no party to vote for. This song speaks of that very condition of being the kids of the transition or born free era; who are asking the ruling party and all party’s involved to clean up their act as #thereisnoparty.


lyrics

Verse

Soul agents on a mission to save the planet
No longer lost in the doubt of it being an illusion
We’re moments of evolution in motion
We’ve come to terms with the soul never eroding.

Pink people a night in Parktown Mansions
Skin lightening just cause it’s in fashion
Pink people happy brown things do happen
Believe in this revolution and not this party

Chorus

Party – Not this Party – Party – Party – Party Not this party – party – party party party Not this party – party – party – party
Not this party party party party

Verse

I’m eating sushi in paradise with whoever
And loaded cause it don’t last forever
The chivalry of whisky on her lips
She’s lost in the cars it’s the sound of her hips

Brown people a night in Diepkloof Mansions
You’re hanging with him cause he’s in fashion
Brown people happy pink things do happen
Believe in this evolution and not this party

Chorus

Party – Not this Party – Party – Party – Party Not this party – party – party party party Not this party – party – party – party
Not this party party party party

Bridge

What happened after the accident
My whole concept of rhythm shifted
I’m over the anger of not being on their hitlist
What happened after the accident
My whole rhythm of concept shifted
She’s in the bedroom with him and there’s no party

Chorus
There’s no party – Party – party – Party Party – party party party
There’s no party party party party There’s no party party party party PARTY PARTY PARTY
