Apartheid

Talking to the freedom fighters
Talking to the freedom fighters, yea
Talking about apartheid is not gonna help
Justice Mr. President is what the people want
Just an equal distribution of the wealth
Just as Moses in the days of old
Levi, Issa-Char, Zebulun is to be told
Children of Israel is of old
Judah, Simeon, Benjamin to be told
Gadites, Danites, and Joseph
Reuben, Asher, Naphtali to be told
Blow the trumpets far and near
Gonna be war, war, war, rumors of war
War, war, heathen you better stay far
One generation pass another one rises
One four forty thousand and more to be saved
Just like in the time of Nnoah
Just like in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah
War, war, rumors of war
War, war, you better stay far
Talking about apartheid is not gonna work
Equal rights and justice that's all it's worth
But redemption cometh for this generation
When all the tribes of Africa must be free
Just like in the time of Noah
Just like in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah
War, war, you better stay far
Ah what a judgement day
Can't run away from the juogement day
Never get away from the judgement day
