Apartheid Blues

The clock is ticking and time's running out
Feel the power, hear our shouts
Apartheid's gone down the tubes
Hear our voices and respect our views

Black Indian and white
We got the future, we're gonna fight
Apartheid views, apartheid blues

Pollsmoor prison is where it's at
Hold our leaders, like they're rats
Release them, yield them, let them free
Good God man, where do you stand

Black Indian and white
We got the future, we're gonna fight
Apartheid views, apartheid blues

The paper government has gone insane
I hang my head in great shame
The police have tried to arrest the nation
good God man , ain't that your sister?

Black Indian and white
We got the future, we're gonna fight
Apartheid views, apartheid blues

Close down the schools, close down the mines
White rule is no friend of mine
Days are numbered, you're gonna see
A fight for justice and liberty

Black Indian and white
We got the future, we're gonna fight
Apartheid views, apartheid blues
Apartheid fools
