Emergency, emergency

Emergency, emergency
State of emergency
Emergency, emergency
State of emergency
Emergency, emergencyFrom Brixton to Cape Town
Unrest all around
From Handsworth to Uitenhage
Lawlessness on the rampageSticks and stones, they're throwing
Set ablaze the buildings
Youthful minds are stirring
Time to make a changeWho they think they're fooling?

No want no diverse doctrines
Forever we will strive
Fighting against apartheidState of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgencyForever we will strive
Never seen a thing like this beforeHow long can this go on?
A riding, riding, ride the storm
Me tired, me tired of being a stepping stone
Just to hell with words and give me actionSticks and stones, they're throwing
Set ablaze the buildings
Youthful minds are stirring
Time to make a changeWho they think they're fooling?
No want no diverse doctrines
Forever we will strive
Fighting against apartheidState of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgencyState of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgencyForever and ever we will strive
Whole wide world is burning
Forever we will strive
Pring pring, gun shot ringFrom Brixton to Cape Town
Unrest all around
From Handsworth to Durban
No satisfactionWe will strive for freedom now
We will strive for freedom now
We will strive for freedom now
We will strive for freedom now
