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!
