Gimme Hope - Jo'anna Songtext
Well Jo?Anna she runs a countryShe runs in Durban and the TransvaalShe makes a few of her people happy, ohShe don?t care about the rest at allShe?s got a system they call apartheidIt keeps a brother in a subjectionBut maybe pressure can make Jo?Anna seeHow everybody could a live as oneGimme hope, Jo?AnnaHope Jo?AnnaGimme hope, Jo?Anna?Fore the morning comeGimme hope, Jo?AnnaHope Jo?AnnaHope before the morning comeI hear she makes all the golden moneyTo buy new weapons, any shape of gunsWhile every mother in black Soweto fearsThe killing of another sonSneakin? across all the neighbour?s bordersNow and again having little funShe doesn?t care if the fun and games she playIs dang?rous to ev?ryoneGimme hope ?She?s got supporters in high up placesWho turn their heads to thew city sunJo?Anna give them the fancy moneyOh, to tempt anyone who?d comeShe even knows how to swing opinionIn every magazines and the journalsFor every bad move that this Jo?Anna makesThey got a good explanationGimme hope ?Even the preacher who works for jesusThe archbishop who?s a peaceful manTogether say that the freedom fightersWill overcome the very strongI wanna know if you?re blind Jo?AnnaI wanna hear the sound of drumsCan?t you see that the tide is turningOh don?t make me wait ?til the morning come
