Verse 1:
Lerato hates the shoes that she's been cursed to gallop in
'Cause when she's in them she just loses all the faith and dwells in sin
It's a complicated issue 'cause she has no next of kin
Not a family or friend, not a home to settle in
Bridge 1:
Oh! Lerato! Please come back to me
Even though your shoes are dirty you can still clean history
Oooooooh! Oooooooh!
Chorus 1: (x2)
She's in need of shoes
She's worn out her soul
And those dirty laces
Will not hold
Verse 2:
Sello always wanted a new pair of Nike boots
They would make him better if he got them he would never lose
That's what he thought until the day he got a chance to use them
For it's the man and not the shoes, this left him so confused
Bridge 2:
Dear, Sello! Please come back to us
Don't let the world lead you astray, don't misplace your trust
Oooooooh! Oooooooh!
Chorus 2: (x2)
His need of shoes
Has worn out his soul
Because new laces
Don't change the old
Verse 3:
Although this world is great we have some problems underfoot
With all our feats and all our triumphs we will not be overlooked
We stare defeat in all its horror and the path we undertook
And then we step on all the past to lift us higher don't be shook
Bridge 3:
Oh! People! Let's go back to love!
Put a sock in all your anger and look above
Oooooooh! Oooooooh!
Chorus 3: (x2)
Do we need shoes?
For that gumboot soul
Because it's what we choose
That makes us all whole
Outro:
Oh! In need of shoes!
Oh needless shoes!
Need for shoes...
Shoo shoo shoes...
