Set Them Free
Get on it!
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
Earlier this morning
While reading my newspaper
Something got me all disturbed
I'm a reading about Soweto
I'm a reading 'bout the Sharpeville Massacre
Oh-wow-oh
Now you can fool some people some of the time
But you can't fool all the people all of the time
Those who invest in Botha's regime
Yes they are living the apartheid dream
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
Wouldn't it be nice if we could sort this out, lord, peacefully..?
'Cause arms and arms, with arms
Will have to fight this little struggle til
Every, every single one is free
And now the people of South Africa
Suffer and lose their lives
Their standing up now for their right
They're fighting back
(Set them free...)
Can't you hear the children crying?
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
Come on come on come on...
(Set them free...)
Come on and...
Governments all over this world
It's time you show us just where you stand
Can't forever go on blaming lord one man
And everyday you're still shaking his hand
Sanctions suggested by many to help but
What is the good of that
When you still go on trading everyday
Behind the world's back
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
(Set them free...)
