When the Stars Fall from the Sky |
| Mid-October, sixty one |
| The French Police were having fun |
| Cutting down Algerians |
| Breaking heads all over town |
| Yet no-one saw and no-one knew |
| No-one dared to speak the truth |
| 200 dead became just two |
| Sweep them in the river |
| The witnesses were run to the ground |
| Put the bastards underground |
| Buried every black in town |
| Who dared to show their face |
| When the stars fall from the sky |
| When the world cannot make me cry |
| That’s when the scales will fall from your eyes |
| And let you see the truth |
| Boipitong in ninety two |
| Subjected to a murder crew |
| Well trained policemen charging through |
| A crowd that’s armed with slogans |
| Yet no-one saw and no help came |
| And no-one wants to take the blame |
| These people that you try to tame |
| Will get round to you later |
| The protesters were run to the ground |
| Put the bastards underground |
| Buried every black in town |
| Who dared to raise his voice |
| Every day around the world |
| The voice of truth cannot be heard |
| Men and women disappear |
| They have to live their life in fear |
| Yet something makes them stand and shout |
| One day they will find you out |
| Dig up every fact in town |
| And shove them in your face |
