Eddy Grant - Gimme Hope Jo`Anna слова песни
Well Jo`anna she runs a countryShe runs in Durban and the TransvaalShe makes a few of her people happy, ohShe don`t care about the rest at allShe`s got a system they call apartheidIt keeps a brother in a subjectionBut maybe pressure can make Jo`anna seeHow everybody could a live as one(Chorus:)Gimme hope, Jo`annaHope, Jo`annaGimme hope, Jo`anna`Fore the morning comeGimme hope, Jo`annaHope, Jo`annaHope before the morning comeI hear she make all the golden moneyTo buy new weapons, any shape of gunsWhile every mother in black Soweto fearsThe killing of another sonSneakin` across all the neighbours` bordersNow and again having little funShe doesn`t care if the fun and games she playIs dang`rous to ev`ryone(Chorus)She`s got supporters in high up placesWho turn their heads to the city sunJo`anna give them the fancy moneyOh to tempt anyone who`d comeShe even knows how to swing opinionIn every magazine and the journalsFor every bad move that this Jo`anna makesThey got a good explanation(Chorus)Even the preacher who works for JesusThe Archbishop who`s a peaceful manTogether say that the freedom fightersWill overcome the very strongI wanna know if you`re blind Jo`annaIf you wanna hear the sound of drumsCan`t you see that the tide is turningOh don`t make me wait till the morning come(Chorus)
