"State Of Emergency" lyrics
State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency (Ready)
Emergency
Emergency (Aim)
Emergency (Fire)
Emergency
Emergency
Emergency
State of emergency
Emergency
Emergency
State of emergency
Emergency
Emergency
State of emergency
Emergency
Emergency
From Brixton to Cape Town (Dem a fight, dem a)
Unrest all around (Dem a fight, dem a)
From Handsworth to Uitenhage (Dem a fight, dem a)
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 a diverse doctrine
Forever we will strive
Fighting against apartheid
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
Forever we will strive
Never seen a thing like this before
How long can this go on? (How long can this go on?)
A riding, riding, ride the storm
Me tired, me tired
Of being a stepping stone
Says 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 a diverse doctrine
Forever we will strive
Fighting against apartheid
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
Forever and ever (Forever) and ever
We will strive
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
State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency (Ready)
Emergency
Emergency (Aim)
Emergency (Fire)
Emergency
Emergency
Emergency
State of emergency
Emergency
Emergency
State of emergency
Emergency
Emergency
State of emergency
Emergency
Emergency
From Brixton to Cape Town (Dem a fight, dem a)
Unrest all around (Dem a fight, dem a)
From Handsworth to Uitenhage (Dem a fight, dem a)
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 a diverse doctrine
Forever we will strive
Fighting against apartheid
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
Forever we will strive
Never seen a thing like this before
How long can this go on? (How long can this go on?)
A riding, riding, ride the storm
Me tired, me tired
Of being a stepping stone
Says 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 a diverse doctrine
Forever we will strive
Fighting against apartheid
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
State of emergency
State of emergency
Never seen such urgency
Forever and ever (Forever) and ever
We will strive
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
