Isolate South Africa

Mighty Sparrow

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
No games with them
Don't trade with them
For them there should be no tomorrow
This race problem
Their Apartheid system
Must not be allowed to go
The world is suffering tremendously
As a result of the racial slavery
If indeed we want peace direct from the top
Discrimination must stop

There can be no peace, only hurt
There can be no glories on this earth
If because of his color, his creed, and his culture
A fellow human being is trеated like dirt

[Pre-Chorus]
If I was a freedom fighter
In this world, likе America
I will see that my quest was under duress
And do meh best to isolate South Africa

[Chorus]
Isolate (South Africa)
Annihilate (South Africa)
Eliminate (South Africa)
Disintegrate (South Africa)

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Total embargo
Just to let them know
Human lives must not be taken so lightly
Their vile assault is a gross insult
One and all a freedom-loving society
Yes, we know all men were created equal
This world was not reserved for you exclusively
If we believe this, and we want happiness
Now take a stand to stamp out segregation

There can be no honor, no respect
No splendor if we accept
The act of a state
Who blatantly violates every humanitarian precept

[Pre-Chorus]
If I was a freedom structure
Like Britain, France, Canada, and Australia
Military power will head my agenda
As part of the pressure to isolate South Africa

[Chorus]
Isolate (South Africa)
Annihilate (South Africa)
Eliminate (South Africa)
Disintegrate (South Africa)

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
One million resolution
By the United Nation
And today Namibia is still in bondage
They obstinately reject
Every decent concept
Of human rights and still treat people like garbage
From the Pope to the lowest orderly in the clergy
[?] beaten some get killed or shot
Greed and avarice for wealth
Preventing those who could help
Torture and pain and human suffering
Surpass the top

I see a bleak future
Of only gloom
All hopes and dreams shatter
Out of impending doom
All because of his color, his creed, and his culture
A fellow human being is treated like dirt

[Pre-Chorus]
If I was a freedom fighter
In this world. like America
I will see that my quest was under duress
And do meh best to isolate South Africa

[Chorus]
Isolate (South Africa)
Annihilate (South Africa)
Eliminate (South Africa)
Disintegrate (South Africa)

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Clearly lives are lost
Like the Holocaust
The superpowers sit down and they take no action
Showing no interest
To try and stop this madness
Like they stand behind Afghanistan and Poland
Even China is supplying them with uranium
So they could build a super hydrogen bomb
Without the US support, UN is no comfort
America it's you who can stop Praetoria

There's simply no justice, no reason
Inequitableness stay in season
In this hell hole of a state
Who blatantly violate
Every humanitarian precept

[Pre-Chorus]
If I was a freedom structure
Like Britain, France, Canada, and Australia
Military power will head my agenda
As part of the pressure to isolate South Africa

[Chorus]
Isolate (South Africa)
Annihilate (South Africa)
Eliminate (South Africa)
Disintegrate (South Africa)

[Instrumental Outro]
