Lyrics
What's the word? Tell me brother, have you heard From Johannesburg? What's the word? Sister/woman 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. Well 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 brother, have you heard From Johannesburg? They tell me that our brothers over there Refuse to work in the mines. They may not get the news but they need to know We're on their side. Now sometimes distance brings misunderstanding, But deep in my heart I'm demanding: Somebody tell me what's the word? Sister/woman have you heard 'Bout Johannesburg? I know that their strugglin' over there Ain't gonna free me, But we all need to be strugglin' If we're gonna be free. Don't you wanna be free?
