South Africa
The black I have seen as he toils in the sun
Working all day he goes on and on
The sweat from his body runs to the ground
Scared of the boss man he utters no sound
Working for pennies the boss man so mean
No fat does he carry his body so lean
And what of his children how do they live
Begging the white man for what he will give
A few pennies more to pay for their bread
But too late for the some the ones that are dead
Buried in holes more will soon take their place
And what of the white man no one sees his disgrace
And if we do nothing but watch as they die
Remember Zimbabwe we will pay with our lives.
