Biko Drum
And they went home on an Easter road On a silent night trying not to show Who goes where and who goes when Thinking some day soon they'll get it back again From the ghetto in Capetown to dig the gold Little boy blue he can't be sold Under tin roof and a plastic wall Thinking some day soon we're gonna come around. CHORUS And the renegades sing all the renegades songs And the ones who know hope they're doing wrong The blacks and the coloureds play the Biko Drum The blacks and the coloureds play the Biko drum Hey hey listen to the Biko Drum (we're gonna sing, sing it now) Hey hey listen to the Biko Drum Transvaal kids on a Transvaal day Little by little they show the way To a city of dream on solid ground Thinking someday soon they're gonna come around Steve he's living in a prison cell All his friends that know hope he's doing well SongtexteDown here they listen to the Biko Drum Down here they listen to the songs he sung CHORUS Nelson, listen to the people sing Nelson Mandela the people's king 27 years in a white man's jail 27 years they couldn't make him say CHORUS Aus Songtexte Mania
