A Motor-Bike In Afrika |
| A motor-bike in Afrika |
| Yeah, he’s riding the white line |
| Oblivious of snakes stretched out across the way like trip-wire |
| Shouting |
| «The road is mine!» |
| Tracing the line of the Skeleton Coast |
| Ghost riders from the Sud-West: |
| The original Angels of Death they seem |
| Six motor-bikes abreast |
| Riding through the oppressive night |
| Now only the hardest remain |
| Look at the scars of the tyre-tracks |
| Look to the bodies behind their backs |
| Look at the bastards bray |
| In Afrika today |
| The bodies of Biko and Soweto poor |
| The Christian message of Dutch Reform |
| The sound of the monster, the motor-bike roar |
| The hate in the eyes of the uniformed Boer |
| The head and the bucket, the boot and the floor… |
| Racial torture and racial war |
| In Afrika today |
| Come in Rhodesia, South Africa, your time is up… |
| No protection on a motor-bike, man; |
| Sooner or later that normal traffic’s gonna get you |
