Fight for Your Life

There's a boy blacker than the night
Living near Cape Town
And he hates all of the injustice
That has kept him down

He looks up at the sky and he shouts
Why ?
He knows he can't take anymore
He picks up a gun
He tells everyone

Fight for your life
You gotta stand up and shout
You gotta fight for your dream
Fight for your right
For rights as a human being

He's about to shoot the President
From a window sill
But suddenly he throws down his gun
He knows he can not kill

He looks up at the sky and he shouts
Why ?
Then the police shoot him down and
Before he dies
He stumbles and cries
