We don't throw our garbage out the window
We respect other people's stuff
Even if our partner's saying: No, No, No!
We don't just have sex, we make love

We don't rewrite our history or break statues
We don't need guns or hide behind high walls
Our laws don't favour any race or colour: Black or even black
We're all equal in the eyes of all our gods

We have Durban poison and we have Table Mountain
Wild animals and gold and Mandela
Almost everything still works, from AIDS to hookers (but thats all)
Rest in pieces, South Africa, good night!

All our kids aren't studying now in England
None of our best doctors live abroad
Thankfully so many of us are literate
We can count how much we really can't afford

We have Durban poison and we have Table Mountain
Wild animals and gold and Madiba
Everything almost still works, from AIDS to hookers (but thats all)
Rest in pieces, South Africa, good night!
