Johannesburg Lyrics - Anti-nowhere League

The victims of oppression 

I had a vision of a new world 

Another hidden in the southern plain 

Far away from the western wars 

And in this land we shall start again 

But in his anger...is a nation broken in two 

And the doors of ? shall be open for the chosen few 

And we call this land South Africa 

The Cape of hope to a northern star 

But that hope and peace will never be far 

Johannesburg 

Johannesburg 

And we raise our children 

By the blade and bullet they learn 

But unrest in the homeland 

Crowds gather, the township burns 

We stand divided 

But together we will show them all 

We can stand for so long 

We break away for the good of us all 

And we call this land South Africa 

The Cape of hope to a northern star 

But that hope and peace will never be far 

Johannesburg 

Johannesburg 

Johannesburg 

Here's to the future 

To a future we may never see 

Here's to the brave new world 

May we live in harmony 

And we call this land South Africa 

The Cape of hope to a northern star 

But that hope and peace will never be far 

Johannesburg 

Johannesburg 

...
