Lyrics

What're you doin' here? And that's how it went on Everybody know their part in Johannesburg? Does everybody know their part? I want We gotta get one up right tonight, now When we say, "What's the word?" We want to hear everybody We want to hear everybody Today, today for those of you who don't know Nelson Mandela was moved into a hospital He's not been feeling well lately Well, we're hoping that the international community Will make its feelings known I mean, in some fashion, write to your senator Write to your night, your day, whoever the fuck it is I mean write to somebody, say something to someone It's very important that we stand somewhere on this We say, let the brother go Let the brother go Let the brother go I'm saying the brother I'm saying Come out here, let's go over here One, two, and you know what to do Go in all the way, hey I said what's the word? Tell me woman, have you heard From Johannesburg? Come on now, listen Somebody said, what's the word? Tell me woman, have you heard From Johannesburg? They tell me that our brothers over there Are defyin' the man And we don't know for sure Because the news we get is unreliable, man Yes I, I hate it when the blood starts flowin' But I'm glad to see resistance growin', say What's the word? Tell me woman, have you heard From Johannesburg? Somebody said what's the word? Tell me brother, have you heard From Johannesburg? They tell me that our brothers over there Refuse to work in the mines sometimes And we don't know for sure Because the news week on their side, sometimes Yes I, I hate it when the blood starts flowin' But I'm glad to see resistance growin' Somebody say what's the word? Tell me woman, have you heard From Johannesburg? Somebody say what's the word? Tell me woman, have you heard 'Bout Johannesburg? I know that their strugglin' over there It ain't gonna free me Yeah but we've all got to be strugglin' If we wanna be free We all want it, son We've got to come together Coming round the clock They tell me that our brothers over there Refuse to work in the mines, sometimes They may not get the news but they need to know We're on their side Yes I, I hate it when the blood starts flowin' But I'm glad to see resistance growin' Somebody said what's the word? What's the word? Say what's the word? Say what's the word? (Johannesburg) Say what's the word? (Johannesburg) Say what's the word? (Johannesburg) Say what's the word?
