Vir jou is daar nog messe wat wag
in die bosse buite jou huis in die nag
ons sal mos veilig wees
ons sal mos veilig wees
ons hou ons gewetens skoon
ons sluit toe die deur
ons het pertrol gevat
en ons het al ons brue afgebrand
voordat ons aan die anderkant was
en ek besef nou
en ek besef nou eers
bloed en yster
bloed en grond
bloed en olie
bloed en grond
bang en lui en desperaat
daars niks nuuts onder die son nie
en in die skaduwee
brand Suid-Afrika
wat weet ek van eerlik wees
my gewete syfer deur
my wakker lewe is hierdie ou man se geheu
en ek besef nou
en ek besef nou eers
bloed en yster
bloed en grond
bloed en olie
bloed en grond
bang en lui en desperaat
daars niks nuuts onder die son nie
en in die skaduwee
brand Suid-Afrika
en ek besef nou
en ek besef nou eers
die ossewabrandwag
het gisteraand die munisipaliteit opgeblaas
bloed en yster
bloed en grond
bloed en olie
bloed en grond
bang en lui en desperaat
daars niks nuuts onder die son nie
en in die skaduwee
brand Suid-Afrika
en ons vir jou
landmyne van skuldgevoelens
in 'n eenman-konsentrasiekamp
jy kla oor die toestand van ons land
wel fokken doen iets daaromtrent
brand Suid-Afrika

La loro musica è caratterizzata da un forte ritmo punk con influenze ska e rock alternativo. I testi sono spesso satirici e politicamente impegnati, affrontando temi come la corruzione, l'oppressione e la disuguaglianza sociale.

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
