Careless Ethiopians Lyrics
So much careless Ethiopians
Have gone astray
So much careless Ethiopians
Have gone away
Hey Hey
They calling up an anti Christ each night and day
Pray for a god to come from outer space
So much careless Ethiopians
Have gone astray
So much careless Ethiopians
Have lost their way
Are you coming my way? (x2)
I said I wonder what you do
You gotta come my way
Come my way
Is they know not where they're going?
They've gone astray
Have gone astray
So much careless Ethiopians
Have gone away
Hey Hey
Pray for a god to come from outer space
Have gone astray
So much careless Ethiopians
Have lost their way
I said I wonder what you do
You gotta come my way
Come my way
They've gone astray

I can't quite tell if this an indictment against Etheiopians converting to Christianity or about Etheiopians regarding Haile Selassie as the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. I'm guessing it's about the first (But wishing it were about the second).
In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh. -- Ezekiel 30:9
It's a biblical reference. Straighten up or God'll burn your house down.
