Johannesburg Lyrics - Singles - Love Like Blood

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!
