Can anyone help uncover the lyrics to this iconic track? Blood Sucker by Pablo Gad. It has the same tune as the famous Hard Times but different lyrics and a different mix.

Heres my current best guess at the lyrics:

yay-oh!
yay-oh!
yay-i-oh!

came to our native land
stole our gold from our hand
blood shall you be cursed
America use God faith
for them-a bonfire
a them a blood sucker
a them a massacre
Africa!

sleep now while they going mad
all for our Africa land
they pack it gone in glass (?)
they want I to eat outta box

now them a bonfire
how them a blood sucker
a them a massacre
Africa!

yay-oh!
yay-oh!
yay-i-oh!

spit you an egg out your hand (?!)
all for I Africa land
die I fi eat outta box
die I fi pay income tax
go'way vampire
go'way blood sucker
you stop your massacre
Africa! …

Then a bonfire…
a them a blood-…

My best guess:

yay-oh
yay-oh
Yay-fi-oh

Came to our native land
Stoled our gold from our hand
Russia UK passe
America use God faith
But them a vampire
A them a blood sucker
A them a massacre
Africa

Sleep now while they going mad
After I africa land
They pack it goin in tax
They want I fe eat out of box

A them a vampire
A them a bloodsucker
A them a massacre
Africa

yay-oh
yay-oh
Yay-why-oh

Slit you while they go you hand
After I africa land
Tired fe eat outta box
Tired fe pay income tax
Go way vampire
Go way blood sucker

You stop your massacre
Africa
