Durban Poison Lyrics - Graham Parker

The Zulus are rising from their shanty towns 

The Injuns are launching a counter attack 

The funeral pyre's burning as I strike a match 

And everything goes up in smoke again, oh 

Durban Poison, oh oh oh oh, Durban Poison 

Durban Poison, oh oh oh oh, Durban Poison 

A white man is talking in a twisted accent 

Somewhere between British and Boer 

Says if you hate somebody lock them up, but I can't be sure 

if I'm just dreaming, I'm dreaming of

Durban Poison, oh oh oh oh, Durban Poison 

Durban Poison, oh oh oh oh, Durban Poison 

A choir is singing their voices ring out 

A child is bouncing on her mother's knee 

The cradle of mankind is waking at last 

Seeds grow where nothing ever grew before, 

Durban Poison, oh oh oh oh, Durban Poison 

Durban Poison, oh oh oh oh, Durban Poison
