GUNSHIP GHETTO
Gunship ghetto - steeleye stiletto
Feather pillow dream
Crazy boy your sister’s crying
Tell me where the hell have you been
Border order prison warder
Mortar bomb daughter scream
Gunship ghetto - steeleye stiletto
Mama it was kill or be killed
I’m going away to where history won’t reach me
To where time stands still
I need to find some peace of mind
And if you let me in I probably will
CHORUS:
Speak to the sky, there’s no reply
Just the endless empty blue
While deep in the night, there is a fight
And a struggle that rages within the heart
Hamba Madoda! Aya hamba madoda (March away men - the men are marching away)
Sodibana pambiliyo sodibana phambili yo! (We will meet up ahead)
Paper holder holds a soldier
Not yet born to be
But six months older he’ll be much bolder
See thing’s he’s never seen
I need freedom just like the next one
But sometimes it doesn’t do
‘Cause I need you to be there
When I’m troubled
I need to see this thing through with you
Behind the barrel of a gun, love and friendship can become
Just another point of view
The battle is won but my heart overcome
Cause what is lost is part of you
CHORUS:
Hamba madoda - aya hamba madoda (March away men - the men are marching away)
I’m just marching away - just marching away
What do you say - I’m just marching away
Sebehambile hambile (They have all gone, all gone)
Sebehambile hambile
Umhlaba unzima sodibana phambili yo! (The world is a difficult place - we shall meet up ahead)
Umhlaba unzima sodibana phambili yo!
