A boot at the door in the dead of the night Echoes terror far and wide Tonight how township’s rules are white None of them resists arrest Screams of pain fill the air You must submit you have no rights
You can’t fight the law With your back to the wall Don’t it make you feel small
In the system; no escape Random choice, interrogate From confusion anger grows And the fear of what’s to come You can’t stop the hammer coming down
You can’t fight the law With your back to the wall Don’t it make you feel small
Wake up! It’s time for pain Confess! Tell us their names Resist And you’ll make it worse No use …
Now comes the moment You have been waiting for, you kiss the boot And say out last good-bye!
The eyes of the oppressed are Filled with hatred and with fear Signalling the closeness of a war To be declared Forced into resisting in a world of lunacy Where if you’re black you’re subjugated If you’re white you’re free There will be bloodshed, suffering for everyone The fight for democracy has just begun The day of the last straw is coming Then they will react Their freedom has been taken and Their pride has been attacked A man will sacrifice his all when Fighting to be free They’re prepared to die in the Pursuit of liberty No hollow speech can quell the Wrath of the oppressed Seeing these injustices the world Will join our guest
You can fight the law Though your back’s to the wall Seeking justice for all
