Biko Lyrics - Street Fighting Years - Simple Minds

September '77 

Port Elizabeth weather fine 

It was business as usual 

In police room 619 

Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko 

Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko 

Hiromija, Hiromija 

The man is dead, the man is dead 

When I try to sleep at night 

I can only dream in red 

The outside world is black and white 

With only one colour dead 

Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko 

Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko 

Hiromija, Hiromija 

The man is dead, the man is dead

You can blow out a candle 

But you can never blow out a fire 

Once the flames begin to catch 

The wind will blow it higher 

Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko 

Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko 

Hiromija, Hiromija 

The man is dead, the man is dead 

And the eyes of the world are watching you now 

They're watching you now, watching you now 

Watching you now, watching you now 

They're watching you now 

You gotta waken up, you gotta face up 

I think you gotta open up 

Photos 

The eyes of the world are watching you now 

You gotta waken up, you gotta face up 

You know you can never turn away 

Never turn away
