Simple Minds - Sun City lyrics

rate me

South Africa Away to South Africa

Got to say I ain't gonna play Sun City

Chorus:

I ain't gonna play Sun City

I ain't gonna play Sun City

(Everybody Say)

I ain't gonna play Sun City

(No baby)

I ain't gonna play Sun City

Relocation to phoney homelands

Separation of families I can't understand

Twenty three million can't vote 'cause they're black

We're stabbing our brothers and sisters in the back I'm gonna say

Out Government tell us "we're doing all we can"

Constructive engagement is Ronald Reagan's plan

Meanwhile people are dying and giving up hope

This quiet diplomacy ain't nothing but a joke

Chorus:

It's time to accept responsibility

Freedom is a privilege nobody rides for free

Look around the world baby it cannot be denied

Why we're always on the wrong side

Chorus:

Boputhuswana is far away

But we know it's in South Africa no matter what they say

You can't buy me I don't care what you pay

Don't ask me Sun City 'cause I ain't gonna play

Chorus:

Relocation to phoney homelands

Separation of families I can't understand

Twenty three million can't vote 'cause they're black
