township
I am a white man ashamed amidst these fallen souls
A genocide that brings these blacks to southern cape of old
What I’ll remember most is looking in those bloody eyes
In a mask of red a naked drunk who screams and sighs
Snap that picture of world that I don’t understand
Fucking government that forces them to fold their hand
Look away look away you can’t escape the child
Just Another day another day another day to die
Tell them yes it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna to be alright
Tell the kids it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna to be alright
Raped and pillaged in the villages of years gone by
A sea of houses and disease to perpetrate the lies
It’s what the English did to feed the rich and starve the poor
The news we perpetrate represses underneath black sores
Bleeding mother and her son without a pot to piss
Some rich accountants in the hills behind a wall of glass
Paid the boys who worked the sugarcane and slaved all day
It makes me scream
Tell them yes it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna to be alright
Tell the kids it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna to be alright
Drink the liquor and the paycheck every Friday night
Curse the ignorance for aids that took away your wife
Music carries hope by wind that washes out a soul
Reggae martyr shines his boots to walk the sandy nole
Open up the sores and wash away the under growth
Educate the kids try and fix what is broke
Bring up children with a hopeful gaze
Break chains of genocide stop hiding from your ignorance
Tell them yes it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna to be alright
Tell the kids it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna to be alright
