It's a world of "hang on to what you've got"
|
It's a world of "do or die"
|
I know you never take it serious
|
And you keep your head up high
|
I know you'd like to speak to the manager
|
Oh baby, so would I
|
I never made this crazy world anyway
|
I never made this one way ride
|
|
Chorus
|
For some life offers nothing more
|
Than a struggle or a war
|
A magnum hidden in your drawer
|
You walk away... you want to
|
Dance across the centuries
|
Dance across the sea of time
|
Dance a living memory oh
|
Dance you want to let your spirit shine
|
|
Every dog wants to be a fat cat
|
Every mouse to be a dog
|
It's not easy, I can tell you
|
Trying to see through the fog
|
Funny how some of us live it up
|
While others just survive
|
I know you do what you can
|
But all you ever do is time
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Yaguka lenkunzi emnyama
|
(The black bull has grown old)
|
Kade ihlaba ithetha amalala
|
(Long and well it has fought and argued)
|
Yaguka lenkunzi emnyama
|
(The black bull has grown old)
|
Guka 'sithembe kade wawudlelwa
|
(My gating mat grows old, well has it served me)
|
(All things must pass and change)
|
Chorus
