AFRICA

I've had enough of seeing people shot down to the ground
Any caring human being would wanna bring this regime down
We've been feeding starving people with the latest 12 inch discs
While outside the slaughter continues, it makes me sick

Talking about Africa, South Africa
We’re talking about Africa, South Africa
We’re talking about Africa, South Africa
We’re talking about Africa, South Africa

A legacy of Hitler has raised his head again,
'cos we all know that Botha is Thatcher's friend
She says "No" to sanctions, she says they'll just do harm
She puts her money where here mouth is and out comes Afrikaans

Talking about Africa, South Africa
We’re talking about Africa, South Africa
We’re talking about Africa, South Africa
We’re talking about Africa, South Africa
It's liberation time

Well, Live Aid raised millions of dollars, pounds and francs
But a pillar of apartheid are the western banks
And you can't ease your conscience with a cheque book anymore
'Cos the state is causing riots outside your own front door

Just like in Africa, South Africa
Just like in Africa, South Africa
Just like in Africa, South Africa
Just like in Africa, South Africa
It's liberation time
