Lyrics

One, two Now you know what to do Hey Said, what's the word Tell me, woman have you heard From Johannesburg? Somebody said, what's the word Tell me brother have you heard From Johannesburg? They tell me that our brothers over there Are defyin' the man We don't know for sure Because the news we get is unreliable, man Yes, I hate it when the blood starts flowin' But I'm glad to see resistance growin' Somebody tell me what's the word? Tell me woman, what you heard 'Bout Johannesburg? Somebody said what's the word Say it, have you heard From Johannesburg? And I know that their strugglin' over there That they're ain't no free there, not in town But we all got to be strugglin' Said, if we wanna be free Don't you wanna be free, free, free? They tell me that our brothers over there Refuse to work in the mines sometimes They may not get the news But they need to know we're on their side, full time Now sometimes distance brings misunderstanding Yeah, but deep in my heart I'm demanding Somebody said what's the word? (Johannesburg) What's the word? (Johannesburg) What's the word? (Johannesburg) What's the word? (Johannesburg) Say what's the word? (Johannesburg) Say what's the word? (Johannesburg) Say what's the word? (Johannesburg) Somebody tell me what's happenin' in Johannesburg New York is like Johannesburg L.A. is like Johannesburg Freedom ain't nothing but a word Say what's the word? (Johannesburg) Say what's the word? (Johannesburg) Say what's the word? (Johannesburg) Somebody tell me what's happenin' in Johannesburg D.C. like Johannesburg London like Johannesburg Freedom ain't nothing but a word, ain't nothing but a word Let me see your ID Let me see your ID Provin' you instead of me Johannesburg Freedom ain't nothing but a word, ain't nothing but a word Ain't nothing but a word, ain't nothing but a word Johannesburg Johannesburg Say, say what's the word? (Johannesburg) What's the word? (Johannesburg) What's the word? Johannesburg Johannesburg Johannesburg Thank you Thank you Johannesburg How do you feel? Thank you very much
