higly armed the white police
|
are blowing away little knees
|
crushed bones and finger tips
|
are forming words on bleeding lips
|
blue eyes are watching them
|
blue eyes are killing them
|
but there's no hope when they pray
|
the lord seems to be miles away
|
we saw the spirit of johannesburg
|
|
filthy smoke covering the sun
|
a bullet left another gun
|
a nation screams in agony
|
in pure fear pure apathy
|
lord oh lord where have you gone
|
see what your children have done
|
but there's no hope when they pray
|
the lord seems to be miles away
|
|
and thought the days of fascism
|
and racism had gone
|
i'd never thought that there would
|
be things like oppression
|
humiliatiion and persecution
|
that a dump white male minority
|
could rule over a black majority
|
south africa you're only
|
the top of a lethal flood
|
south africa ruled by die hard fanatics
|
but still there's a mass of people
|
who are protesting, fighting
|
and demonstrating against a system
|
which degrades them to animals
|
but animals fight back when they're
|
in life danger also human beings fight back
|
so fight back in the name of freedom
|
fight back in the name of human rights
|
for a redemption, for a solution
|
hoist the flags of revolution!
|
my lord when will the white bastion fall!
