Johnny Clegg, Savuka - Bombs Away Lyrics

It was a day or so ago
I saw him run into the night

And on his face, more than a trace
Of wild fear in the eye
He was haunted by a tragic dream
Of people in death machines
And he did not know which side he was on
And he hated being in between oh

Bombs away, bombs away
Sign of the times, watch where you're going
Bombs away, bombs away
What will you do see you if I free you
Bombs away, bombs away
Into the night feel the fear
Bombs away, bombs away
Do you know your left from your right

He's tired of the lies
He's tired of the truth
They never give him what they say
He's tired of the fight
He's tired of the truce
The blackmail of judgement day
He believes in a magic wave
That rolls on the sea of time
That can touch every single human soul
If they could recognize it when it came, too late

Bombs away, bombs away
Sign of the times, watch where you're going
Bombs away, bombs away
What will you do see you if I free you
Bombs away, bombs away
Into the night feel the fear
Bombs away, bombs away
Don't you know your left from your right

Ye hum ye hum oh ye hum ye hum oh ye hum
Ye hum oh ye hum ye hum oh ye hum
Ye hum oh ye hum ye hum oh ye hum ( We mame, bathini? ngingenzani? )
Ye hum oh ye hum ye hum oh ye hum ( We mame, bathini? ngingenzani? )
Ye hum oh ye hum ye hum oh ye hum ( We mame, bathini? ngingenzani? )
Ye hum oh ye hum ye hum oh ye hum ( We mame, bathini? ngingenzani? )

Watch where you go ( Bombs away )
What will you do ( Bombs away )
Save the freedom ( Bombs away )

Into the night ( Bombs away )
Feel the fear ( Bombs away )
It's so near ( Bombs away )
Look over you're shoulder ( Bombs away )

Turn to the left ( Bombs away )
Turn with a little right ( Bombs away )
At anytime ( Bombs away )
It can appear ( Bombs away )

Say it again ( Bombs away )
Watch where you go ( Bombs away )
What will you do ( Bombs away )
Save the freedom ( Bombs away )

Into the night ( Bombs away )
Feel the fear ( Bombs away )
It's so near ( Bombs away )
Look over you're shoulder ( Bombs away )

Turn to the left ( Bombs away )
Turn to the right ( Bombs away )
At anytime ( Bombs away )
It can appear ( Bombs away )

Say it all again ( Bombs away )
Watch where you go ( Bombs away )
What will you do ( Bombs away )
Save the freedom ( Bombs away )
