Africa lyrics

I've had enough of seeing people shot down to the ground
Any caring human being would wanna bring this regime down
We've been feeding starving people with the latest 12inch disc
While down in south the slaughter continues, it makes me sick
Chorus
Talking 'bout Afrika, South Afrika

A legacy of Hitler has raised his head again
'cos we all know that Botha is Thatcher's friend
She says "No" to sanctions, she says they'll just do harm
She puts her money where her mouth is and out comes Afrikaans

Chorus
Talking 'bout Afrika, South Afrika
It's liberation time!

Well, Live Aid raised millions of Dollars, Pounds and Francs
But a pillar of Apartheid are the western banks
And you can't ease your conscience with a cheque book any more
'Cos the state is causing riots outside your own front door

Chorus
Just like in Afrika, South Afrika
