[00:00:17] Well Jo'anna she runs a country

[00:00:21] She runs in Durban and the Transvaal

[00:00:24] She makes a few of her people happy oh

[00:00:28] She don't care about the rest at all

[00:00:32] She's got a system they call apartheid

[00:00:36] It keeps a brother in a subjection

[00:00:39] But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see

[00:00:43] How everybody could a live as one

[00:00:58] Hope before the morning come

[00:01:02] I hear she makes all the golden money

[00:01:05] To buy new weapons any shape of guns

[00:01:09] While every mother in black Soweto fears

[00:01:13] The killing of another son

[00:01:17] Sneakin' across all the neighbors' borders

[00:01:20] Now and again having little fun

[00:01:24] She doesn't care if the fun and games she play

[00:01:28] Is dang'rous to ev'ryone

[00:02:01] She's got supporters in high up places

[00:02:05] Who turn their heads to the city sun

[00:02:09] Jo'anna give them the fancy money

[00:02:12] Oh to tempt anyone who'd come

[00:02:16] She even knows how to swing opinion

[00:02:20] In every magazine and the journals

[00:02:24] For every bad move that this Jo'anna make

[00:02:27] They got a good explanation

[00:02:50] The archbishop who's a peaceful man

[00:02:53] Together say that the freedom fighters

[00:02:57] Will overcome the very strong

[00:03:01] I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna
