One Man One Vote (2025 Remaster)

One man, one vote

This is serious, it ain't no joke

One man, one vote

We got to get apartheid out

One man, one vote

This is serious, it ain't no joke

One man, one vote

We got to get apartheid out

Don't expect us to be grateful

'Cause you're giving back to us what is rightfully ours

Don't expect us to be thankful

'Cause God gave the land to us as he gave the earth the flowers

One man, one vote

This is serious, it ain't no joke

One man, one vote

We got to get apartheid out

We aren't fighting for no privilege

It's our right, our birthright

We have the motive and the courage

To stand up, stand up and fight

On this issue there's no compromise

Sooner or later you will realise

You're only living on borrowed time

'Cause me and you aren't the same size

Nine to one, oh lord

Nine million strong, yeah

One man, one vote

This is serious, it ain't no joke

One man, one vote

We got to get apartheid out

One man, one vote

This is serious, it ain't no joke

One man, one vote

We got to get apartheid out

We can rule ourselves better than anybody else

We can rule ourselves better, a-better, a-better, yes

Some people talking about functions

Some people talking about negotiations

It's not about public relations

Apartheid, apartheid fi abandon

One man, one vote

This is serious, it ain't no joke

One man, one vote

We got to get apartheid out

How much gold have you stolen?

And how much rubies and pearls?

You have taken all my diamonds

And spread your propaganda over this world

We are asking you no favour

You don't have to be my next door neighbour

You may think it's a privilege

But it's my right to leave this ghetto village

One man, one vote

This is serious, it ain't no joke

One man, one vote

We got to get apartheid out

One man, one vote

This is serious, it ain't no joke

One man, one vote

We got to get apartheid out

Anything you say, my brother

I'll say it with you

As long as we stick together

Don't you know we got to pull through

So one man, one vote

This is serious, it ain't no joke

One man, one vote
