Johannesburg

There's nothing that helps you from drowning

Drowning from the things that cannot be changed

Happiness in living is so far away from this place

It's easy to see sadness on your face

You just have to pray and fight

There is no better day in sight

Poor people eat from rich ones hands

Thinking they are going to help our land

There are people out there

Who have swallowed their pride

Their love and rights are swept aside

It's so hard to control our minds

When money and food are so damn hard to find

Chorus:

When you're trying to flee, and you're all tied up

It's hard to be on the winning side

By killing your friends and loving your gun

Prepare to die and be ready to run

'cos the battle never stops if that is the way

There'll always be a new hero of the day

See your dreams and hopes sink

This could be the right to stop and think

You can't be wrong and it's never too late

Before you lose your faith, yeah lose your faith

When you give one man the right to judge our lives

Half of the people are carrying knives

Stupid laws and murders, can't stop the dying

I think it's my turn to start crying

The bullet in your heart, it can't be real

When your life is over, it's too late to feel
