Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Third World Child Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Bits of songs and broken drums
  • Are all he could recall
  • So he spoke to me
  • In a bastard tongue
  • Carried on the silence of the guns
  • Its been a long long time
  • Since they first came
  • And marched through our village
  • They taught us to forget our past
  • And live the future in their image
  • Chorus
  • They said
  • you should learn to speak a little bit of english
  • Dont be scared of a suit and tie.
  • Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner
  • -- I am a third world child
  • The outworlds dreams are the currency
  • That grip the city streets
  • I live them out
  • But I have my own
  • Hidden somewhere deep inside of me
  • In between my fathers fields
  • And the citadels of the rule
  • Lies a no-mans land which I must cross
  • To find my stolen jewel.
  • They said
  • you should learn to speak a little bit of english
  • Maybe practise birth control
  • Keep away from controversial politics
  • So to save my third world soul
  • Chorus
  • They said
  • you should learn to speak a little bit of english
  • Dont be scared of a suit and tie.
  • Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner
  • -- I am a third world child
  • Wo! ilanga lobunzima
  • Nalo liyashona
  • Ukuthini asazi
  • Mus ukukhala
  • Mntanami
  • (oh! we dont know when this sun of hardship will set.
  • Dont cry, my child.)
  • Bits of songs and broken drums
  • Are all he could recall
  • But the future calls his name
  • Out loud
  • Carried on the violence of the guns
