Africa Lyrics
I've had enough of seeing people shot down to the ground
Any caring human being would wanna bring this regime down
We've been feeding starving people with the latest 12inch disc

She says "No" to sanctions, she says they'll just do harm
She puts her money where her mouth is and out comes Afrikaans
Chorus
Talking 'bout Afrika, South Afrika
It's liberation time!
Well, Live Aid raised millions of Dollars, Pounds and Francs
But a pillar of Apartheid are the western banks
And you can't ease your conscience with a cheque book any more
'Cos the state is causing riots outside your own front door
Chorus
Just like in Afrika, South Afrika
