Chorus: Bury down apartheid Fight down war and crime Racial discrimination Tribal discrimination (x2) You and I were not there when it started We don't know where it's coming from And where it's going So why don't we...... I am not saying this because I'm a coward But I'm thinking of the lives that we loose Every time we fight Killing innocent people Women and children yeah Who doesn't know about the government Who doesn't know about wars Your mother didn't tell you the truth 'Cause my father didn't tell me the truth The black man say it's the white man The white man say it's the black man Indians say it's the coloreds When it started we were not there We know where we come from but we don't know Where we're going so Why don't we......
