Lucky Dube
War and Crime
[Verse 1]
Every where in the world
People are fighting for freedom (Freedom, yeah)
Nobody knows what is right
Nobody knows what is wrong
The black man say it's the white man (White man)
The white man say it's the black man (Black man)
Indians say it' s the coloureds
Coloureds say it' s everyone (Ooh yeah)
Your mother didn' t tell you the truth
'Cause my father didn' t tell me the truth
Nobody knows what is wrong
And what is right
How long is this gonna last
'Cause we' ve come so far so fast

[Chorus]
When it started, you and I were not there so
Why don' t we bury down apartheid (Apartheid)
Fight down war and crime
Racial discrimination (Discrimination)
Tribal discrimination (Ooh yeah)

Bury down apartheid (Apartheid)
Fight down war and crime
Racial discrimination (Discrimination)
Tribal discrimination (Ooh yeah)
You and I were not there when it started
We don't know where it' s coming from
And where it's going
So why don't we?

[Verse 2]
I' m not saying this
Because I' m a coward
But I' m thinking of the lives
That we lose every time we fight
Killing innocent people
Women and children yeah
Who doesn't know about the government?
Who doesn't know about the wars?
Your mother didn't tell you the truth
'Cause my father did not tell me the truth
Yeah
Black man say it' s the white man
White man say it' s the black man
Indians say it' s the coloureds
Coloureds say it' s everyone

[Chorus]
When it started, you and I were not there so
Why don' t we bury down apartheid (Apartheid)
Fight down war and crime
Racial discrimination (Discrimination)
Tribal discrimination (Ooh yeah)
Bury down apartheid (Apartheid)
Fight down war and crime
Racial discrimination (Discrimination)
Tribal discrimination (Ooh yeah)

Bury down apartheid (Apartheid)
Fight down war and crime
Racial discrimination (Discrimination)
Tribal discrimination (Ooh yeah)
