Lucky Dube - War and Crime lyrics

rate me

Every where in the world

People are fighting for freedom

Nobody knows what is right

Nobody knows what is wrong

The black man say it' s the white man

The white man say it' s the black man

Indians say it' s the coloureds

Coloureds say it' s everyone

Your mother didn' t tell you the truth

Cause my father didn' t tell me the truth

Nobody knows what is wrong

And what is right

How long is this gonna last

Cause we' ve come so far so fast

When it started, you and I were not there so

Why don' t we

Bury down apartheid

Fight down war and crime

Racial discrimination

Tribal discrimination

You and I were not there when it started

We don' t know where it' s coming from

And where it' s going

So why don' t we

I' m not saying this

Because I' m a coward

But I' m thinking of the lives

That we lose everytime we fight

Killing innocent people

Women and children yeah

Who doesn' t know about the good

Who doesn' t know about the wars

Your mother didn' t tell you the truth

Cause my father did not tell me the truth

Yeah

Black man say it' s the white man

White man say it' s the black man

Indians say it' s the coloureds

Coloureds say it' s everyone

When it started we were not there

We know where we come from

But we don' t know where we' re going

So why don' t we

Bury down apartheid

Fight down war and crime

Racial discrimination

Tribal discrimination
