biko

Lyrics

september '77, port elizabeth weather fine, it was business as usual, in police room 619, oh biko, biko, because biko, oh biko, biko, because biko, yihla moja, yihla moja, the man is dead, the man is dead, when i try to sleep at night, i can only dream in red, the outside world is black and white, with only one colour dead, oh biko, biko, because biko, oh biko, biko, because biko, yihla moja, yihla moja, the man is dead, the man is dead, you can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire, once the flames begin to catch, the wind will blow it higher, oh biko, biko, because biko, yihla moja, yihla moja, the man is dead, the man is dead, and the eyes of the world are watching now, watching now
