Standard (EADGBE)
And they went home on an Easter Road
On a silent night tryin not to show
Who goes where and who goes when
Thinkin some day soon theyll get it back again
From the ghetto in Capetown to dig the gold
Little Boy Blue cant be sold
Under tin roof and a plastic wall
Thinkin some day soon were goin to leave it all
And the Renegades sing all the renegades songs
And the ones who know hope theyre doin wrong
The blacks and the coloureds play
The Biko Drum
The blacks and the coloureds play
The Biko Drum
Listen to the Biko Drum
Transvaal kids on a Transvaal day
Little by little they show the way
To a city of dreams and solid ground
Thinkin some day soon were gonna come around
Steve hes livin in a prison cell
All the friends that know hope hes doin 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 peoples king
Twenty-five years in a white mans jail
Twenty-five years we couldnt make him say
(chorus)
(outro play 2x)
Listen to the Biko Drum
the Biko Drum
Listen to the Biko Drum
