State Of Emergency - Steel Pulse

David Hinds

STATE OF EMERGENCY

STATE OF EMERGENCY

STATE OF EMERGENCY

STATE OF EMERGENCY

Ready — Aim — Fire

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 doctrine

Forever we will strive

Fighting against apartheid

State of emergency

Never seen such urgency

State of emergency

Never seen such urgency

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 doctrine

Forever we will strive

Fighting against apartheid

State of emergency

Never seen such urgency

State of emergency

Never seen such urgency

Forever we will strive

The whole wide world is burning

Forever we will strive

Pring pring gun shot ring

From Brixton to Cape Town

Unrest all around

From Handsworth to Durban

No satisfaction

We will strive for freedom now

We will strive for freedom now

We will strive for freedom now

We will strive for freedom now
