take a bow for peace - 12 dogs lyrics

[verse]
fingers in the fury, trying to bury white skin
white hand, white man
rubicon never crossed
and we’re still wading in the water
i contemplate the consequence of marketplace in foreign sense
and souls that wept when fathers left
to ride the train and break the rock
rock like ships that led the british trips
who’s blood instills my life in sense
i mean to say that
if i revolt in tense moments
i’m opеnly knowing that on the other side of bullеts is me
yet i still wish for peace
consciously weep
another dead in the streets
blood on my hands
karoo sunset dance
grass of land in bare feet
black bodies, dead in the streets
i cup the water
dip my face in it
nationwide slaughter
and i know my place in it
blood on my hands
karoo sunset dance
grass of land in bare feet
black bodies, dead in the streets
i cup the water
dip my face in it
nationwide slaughter
i know my place in it
[chorus]
i put my hands to the sky
i pray the lord will show me brighter days (brighter days)
and i don’t know the reason why
they throwing my life away

[verse]
there’s nothing changed since the days of canvas
signatures on some petitions while i patiently just wait for answers
can never produce a group of future rulers due to cruel environments they grew up in maintaining low black standards
now look at what we’re handed
your people feeling stranded
some promises were made in ’94 are now abandoned
a minimum wage is the payroll
while capitalists lay low and cash in all the profits we slave for
now we’re subjugated not liberated in many ways that
i feel betrayed, i feel denigrated
i can’t escape from chains
coin terms that restrict me from change
and i’m a black animal whose been tamed
just look at me a subject of generational pain
inflicted by those who came from overseas
only reason to extort and export
raw materials and sell them back so we can’t afford
and so we’re looking broke
seeking for foreign aid and we’re digging deeper graves
and now we’re slaves in debt
ain’t got my paycheck yet
but i’ll wait for my treat, i’m just a government’s pet
i put my hands to the sky
i pray the lord will show me brighter days (brighter days)
and i don’t know the reason why
they throwing my life away
(oh why, why oh why oh why)
