Lyrics
State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency, emergency, emergency, emergency, emergency
Emergency, emergency, emergency, emergency
State of emergency, emergency, emergency
State of emergency, emergency, emergency
State of emergency, emergency, emergency
From Brixton to Cape Town
Unrest all around
From Handsworth to Uitenhage
Lawlessness on the rampage
Sticks and stones they're throwing
Set ablaze the buildings
Youthful minds are stirring
Time to make a change
Who they think they're fooling?
No want no diverse doctrines
Forever, we will strive
Fighting against apartheid
State of emergency
State of emergency
I never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
I never seen such urgency
Forever, we will strive
Forever, we will strive
I never seen a thing like this before
How long can this go on?
A riding, riding, ride the storm
Me tired, me tired of being a stepping stone
To hell with words and give me action
Sticks and stones they're throwing
Set ablaze the buildings
Youthful minds are stirring
Time to make a change
Who they think they're fooling?
No want no diverse doctrines
Forever we will strive
Fighting against
State of emergency
State of emergency
I never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
I never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
I never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
I never seen such urgency
Forever, we will strive
The whole wide world is burning down
Forever, we will strive
