So Primitive
[Verse 1]
They don't go home till the coast is clear
Never safe over here in these mkhukhu towns
They hide in the night, tramble with fear
As armies crush their homes to the ground
We’ve got to discover (Discover)
The shortest route to freedom for the innocent
We've got to recover (Recover)
True dignity for the powers that reign
[Chorus]
Oh oh so primitive
For the tower of power in South Africa
Oh oh we've got to break apartheid to live
For the freedom of the people in South Africa
[Verse 2]
Divide and rule the use of any tool
A room of a few creates a new holocaust
They take a brother to fight another
If we don’t wake up soon we'll all be lost
We've got to discover (Discover)
The shortest route to freedom for the innocent
We've got to recover (Recover)
True dignity for the power that reigns
[Chorus]
Oh oh so primitive
For the tower of power in South Africa
Oh oh we've got to break apartheid to live
For the freedom of the people in South Africa
[Post-Chorus]
Such a primitive mentality
In the system where some men aren't free
Free all the people in South Africa
Such a primitive mentality
In the system where some men aren't free
Free all the people in South Africa
[Verse 3]
Come brother of mine, won't take my hand
Save our land
We’re flesh and blood, one and the same
The road is still long
So be wise and strong
Not to fall prey to the tricks of ventain
Oh oh
[Chorus]
Oh oh so primitive
For the tower of power in South Africa
Oh oh we’ve got to break apartheid to live
For the freedom of the people in South Africa
Oh oh so primitive
For the tower of power in South Africa
Oh oh we've got to break apartheid to live
For the freedom of the people in South Africa
[Post-Chorus]
Such a primitive mentality
In the system where some men aren’t free
Free all the people in South Africa
Such a primitive mentality
In the system where some men aren't free
Free all the people in South Africa
Such a primitive mentality
In the system where some men aren't free
Free all the people in South Africa
Such a primitive mentality
In the system where some men aren't free
Free all the people in South Africa
