Juluka - Work For All lyrics

rate me

Keep the home fires burning<br />

While Papa's earning the pittance he calls his pay<br />

You've got to get up so early in the morning<br />

To keep your job, let alone find one these days<br />

Hear them sing in the streets now<br />

Hear the sound of marching feet now<br />

Chorus:<br />

Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all -- we need to work to be<br />

Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all -- there's a jobless army in the streets<br />

Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all -- in a wage, a hidden war<br />

Sifun'umsebenzi -- funumsebenzi<br />

Papa sits alone in the kitchen<br />

Thirty years a mining man<br />

He still has to fight for the right to work<br />

Whether times are good or bad<br />

Hear them sing in the streets now<br />

Hear the sound of marching feet now<br />

Chorus<br />

Sifun'umsebenzi -- wo thina sifun'umsebenzi<br />

We need work for all<br />

Hum o hum<br />

Chorus<br />

Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all --<br />

we need to work to be<br />

Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all --<br />

so many mouths at home to feed<br />

Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all --<br />

in a wage a hidden war<br />

Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all --<br />

oh a jobless army at my door<br />

Sifun'umsebenzi -- funumsebenzi<br />

wo thina sifun'umsebenzi<br />

We need work for all<br />

We want work for all<br />

We need work to be<br />

Give us work for all--<br />

Give us work to be
