I hear she make all the golden money          To buy new weapons any shape of guns           While every mother in a black Soweto fears      To killing of another son                        Sneakin' across all the neighbours borders       &      B
Now and again having little fun                 &
She doesn't care if the fun in game she        &   
Its dangrous to everyone                      &

NAKARAT

She's got supporters in high up places      Who turn their heads to the city sun         '  
Jo'anna give them the fancy money             Oh to tempt anyone who'd come                  '        C
She even knows how to swing opinion            &
In every magazine and the journals            &
For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes   &
They got a good explanation                 &   

NAKARAT

Even the preacher who works for Jesus        The Archbishop who's a peaceful man           Together say that the freedom fighters         Will overcome the very strong                   '        D
I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna            &
If you wanna hear the sound of drums           &
Can't you see that the tide is turning        &
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come  &
