And they went home on an Easter road
On a silent night trying not to show
Who goes where and who goes when
Thinking some day soon they'll get it back again
From the ghetto in Capetown to dig the gold
Little boy blue he can't be sold
Under tin roof and a plastic wall
Thinking some day soon we're gonna come around.
CHORUS
And the renegades sing all the renegades songs
And the ones who know hope they're doing wrong
The blacks and the coloureds play the Biko Drum
The blacks and the coloureds play the Biko drum
Hey hey listen to the Biko Drum (we're gonna sing, sing it now)
Hey hey listen to the Biko Drum
Transvaal kids on a Transvaal day
Little by little they show the way
To a city of dream on solid ground
Thinking someday soon they're gonna come around
Steve he's living in a prison cell
All his friends that know hope he's doing well
Down here they listen to the Biko Drum
Down here they listen to the songs he sung
CHORUS
Nelson, listen to the people sing
Nelson Mandela the people's king
27 years in a white man's jail
27 years they couldn't make him say
CHORUS
