Fornicators – Alan Paton Lyrics

Rock

The legacy of apartheid
Is in a village called Soweto
No power or water
Just like the white man wanted it

46 664 is looking out
From Robben island
Behold my country
Is bleeding and it's dying

How can such sun
Look down on whats going on
And still be so beautiful
When justice is undone

The hyenas stole their country
And enslaved those who were lucky
The lions were locked up
And some of them were killed

People were running
To the cities for sanctuary
Not knowing what was waiting
For those of a different color

How can.

But a man named Alan Paton
Had the curage to write about it
He opened up our eyes
For the beast inside this beauty

Page through page
And still in these days
Justice is failing
And the sun blocks the rain

How can.
