Текст (слова) песни: Johnny Clegg and Savuka - Third World Child
Bits of songs and broken drums Are all he could recall So he spoke to me In a bastard tongue Carried on the silence of the guns
"It`s been a long long time since they first came And marched through our village They taught us to forget our past And live the future in their image"
Chorus They said `You should learn to speak a little bit of English Don`t be scared of a suit and tie. Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner -- I am a Third World Child
The Outworld`s dreams are the currency That grip the city streets I live them out But I have my own Hidden somewhere deep inside of me
In between my father`s fields And the citadels of the rule Lies a no-man`s land which I must cross To find my stolen jewel. They said `You should learn to speak a little bit of English Maybe practise birth control Keep away from controversial politics So to save my third world soul
Chorus They said `You should learn to speak a little bit of English Don`t be scared of a suit and tie. Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner -- I am a Third World Child
