| Bits of songs and broken drums |
| Are all he could recall |
| So he spoke to me In a bastard tongue |
| Carried on the silence of the guns |
| It’s been a long long time |
| since they first came |
| And marched through our village |
| They taught us to forget our past |
| And live the future in their image |
| They said |
| 'You should learn to speak a little bit of English |
| Don’t be scared of a suit and tie. |
| Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner |
| -- I am a Third World Child |
| The Outworld’s dreams are the currency |
| That grip the city streets |
| I live them out |
| But I have my own |
| Hidden somewhere deep inside of me In between my father’s fields |
| And the citadels of the rule |
| Lies a no-man's land which I must cross |
| To find my stolen jewel. |
| They said |
| 'You should learn to speak a little bit of English |
| Maybe practise birth control |
| Keep away from controversial politics |
| So to save my third world soul |
| They said |
| 'You should learn to speak a little bit of English |
| Don’t be scared of a suit and tie. |
| Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner |
| -- I am a Third World Child |
| Wo ilanga lobunzima |
| Nalo liyashona |
| Ukuthini asazi |
| Musa Ukukhala |
| Mntanami |
| Bits of songs and broken drums |
| Are all he could recall |
| But the future calls his name |
| Out loud |
| Carried on the violence of the guns |
| Name | Year |
