Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Bombs Away lyrics

It was a day or so ago

I saw him run into the night

And on his face, more than a trace

Of wild fear in the eye

He was haunted by a tragic dream

Of people in death machines

And he did not know which side he was on

And he hated being in between oh

Chorus:

Bombs away, bombs away

Sign of the times -- watch where you're going

What will you do -- see you if I free you

Into the night -- feel the fear

Do you know your left from your right?

He's tired of the lies

He's tired of the truth

They never give him what they say

He's tired of the fight

He's tired of the truce

The blackmail of judgement day

He believes in a magic wave

That rolls on the sea of time

That can touch every single human soul

If they could recognize it when it came -- too late

Chorus

Ye hum oh ye hum we mame, bathini? ngingenzani?

(What do they say? What can I do?)

Into the night -- feel the fear

It's so near -- look over your shoulder

Turn to the left -- turn to the right

At any time it can appear
