Steel Pulse - State Of Emergency lyrics

David Hinds STATE OF EMERGENCY STATE OF EMERGENCY STATE OF EMERGENCY STATE OF EMERGENCY Ready - Aim - Fire From Brixton to Cape Town Unrest all around From Handsworth to Uitenhage Lawlessness on the rampage Sticks and stones they're throwing Set ablaze the buildings Youthful minds are stirring Time to make a change Who they think they're fooling No want no diverse doctrine Forever we will strive Fighting against apartheid CHORUS State of emergency Never seen such urgency State of emergency Never seen such urgency Forever we will strive I Never seen a thing like this before How long can this go on A riding riding ride the storm Me tired me tired Of being a stepping stone To hell with words And give me action Sticks and stones they're throwing Set ablaze the buildings Youthful minds are stirring Time to make a change Who they think they're fooling No want no diverse doctrine Forever we will strive Fighting against apartheid CHORUS State of emergency Never seen such urgency State of emergency Never seen such urgency Forever we will strive The whole wide world is burning Forever we will strive Pring pring gun shot ring From Brixton to Cape Town Unrest all around From Handsworth to Durban No satisfaction We will strive for freedom now We will strive for freedom now We will strive for freedom now We will strive for freedom now
