Current song lyrics
Well Jo'anna she runs a country<br />She runs in Durban and the Transvaal<br />She makes a few of her people happy, oh<br />She don't care about the rest at all<br />She's got a system they call apartheid<br />It keeps a brother in a subjection<br />But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see<br />How everybody could a live as one<br /><br />[ chorus: ] <br />Gimme hope, Jo'anna<br />Hope, Jo'anna<br />Gimme hope, Jo'anna<br />'Fore the morning come<br />Gimme hope, Jo'anna<br />Hope, Jo'anna<br />Hope before the morning come<br /><br />I hear she makes all the golden money<br />To buy new weapons, any shape of guns<br />While every mother in black Soweto fears<br />The killing of another son<br /><br />Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders<br />Now and again having little fun<br />She doesn't care if the fun<br />and games she plays<br />Is dang'rous to ev'ryone<br /><br />[ chorus ] <br /><br />She's got supporters in high up places<br />Who turn their heads to the city sun<br />Jo'anna gives them the fancy money<br />Oh to tempt anyone who'd come<br />She even knows how to swing opinion<br />In every magazine and the journals<br />For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes<br />They got a good explanation<br /><br />[ chorus ] <br /><br />Even the preacher who works for Jesus<br />The Archbishop who's a peaceful man<br />Together say that the freedom fighters<br />Will overcome the very strong<br />I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna<br />If you wanna hear the sound of drums<br />Can't you see that the tide is turning<br />Oh don't make me wait till the morning come<br /><br />[ chorus ]
