Bloodbath

[Verse 1]

Bloodbath in the land of Zola Budd

Murder in the land of Krugerrand

South Africa, Apartheid

Where racial injustice is so sanctified

[Refrain]

I think a lot, don't know where to begin

But I think a lot about the color of my skin

[Verse 2]

Twenty-nine million blacks ruled by four million whites

And the whites have all the power and it just ain't right

'Cause white means money and white means might

But that don't mean that white's always right

[Refrain]

And I think I'll cry, don't know where to begin

But I think a lot about the color of my skin

Screaming, crying, don't know where to begin

I think a lot about the color of my skin

[Verse 3]

Reagan, Falwell, Botha, I'm white likе them

And it makes me ashamеd of the color of my skin

Reagan, Thatcher, Botha, I'm white like them

And it makes me ashamed of the color of my skin

[Refrain]

And I'll scream and cry, don't know where to begin

I think a lot about the color of my skin

Scream and cry, don't know where to begin

I think a lot about the color of my skin

[Verse 4]

Bloodbath in the land of Zola Budd

Murder in the land of Krugerrand

South Africa, Apartheid

Where if you're not white, it's hard to stay alive

[Refrain]

I'll sing and cry and do what I can

And think about the color of my skin

[Outro]

And tonight before you go to bed

Think about the color of your skin
