State of Emergency (pre-production Demo) Lyrics

Jailed and beaten
Left to die
Political prisoners
Of apartheidThe youth of the nation
Violently oppressed
In the quest for freedom
Thousands deadHow can we let this be?
In their country they must be free
When will segregation end?
When will the masses be free again?
AgainI can't conceive
Of this injustice
I can't believe
It's going onWhite man's law
Is held supreme
Black man
Have no rights at allHow can we let this be?
In their country they must be free

When will segregation end?
When will the masses be free again?
AgainIn this age
Let's have harmony
Humanity
Can be freeThis injustice
Must now end
The masses
Will be free againHow can we let this be?
In their country they must be free
When will segregation end?
When will the masses be free again?
Again
