this so called revolution will not be televised
this so called revolution will not be televised
this so called revolution..............has passed us by
while we have been pacified
singled out, broken into tokens
to symbolise our communities' demise
while we blame our failures and downfalls on the white man's lies
why.........do we only see things through the white man's eyes?
self hatred amongst us, through us and in us arise
we look at the authentic self in depise
mother is crying out but to no avail
so many atrocities mother has called out to our help
yet we have failed
we have failed
we have failed
In every shanty town in Soweto
have we failed?
every taste of a mud pie in Soleil
have we failed
every amputee in Iraq
have we failed
every death at the end of a bullet or machete
by a Janjaweed and Hutu
DID YOU FAIL?
