Lyrics

Ahh. sun city Sun city South africa South africa We're rockers and rappers united and strong We're here to talk about south africa We don't like what's going on (tell it) It's time for some justice it's time for the truth (speak it) We've realized there's only one thing we can do We gotta say Ain't gonna play sun city Oh, no no no no I ain't gonna play sun city Everybody say Ain't gonna play sun city Not baby I, i i, i i i Ain't gonna play sun city Relocation to phony homelands Separation of families i can't understand 23 million can't vote because they're black We're stabbing our brothers and sisters in the back We're gonna say Ain't gonna play sun city We're gonna say Ain't gonna play sun city Our government tells us we're doing all we can Constructive engagement is ronald reagan's plan Meanwhile people are dying and giving up hope Well this quiet diplomacy ain't nothing but a joke We're gonna say Ain't gonna play sun city I ain't gonna play no no We're gonna say Ain't gonna play sun city Don't wanna play, don't wanna play It's time to accept our responsibility Freedom is a privilege nobody rides for free Look around the world baby it cannot be denied Some-somebody tell me why are we always on the wrong side Ain't gonna play sun city Will someone tell me what's going on? Ain't gonna play sun city Boputhuswana is far away But we know it's in south africa no Matter what they say (no matter what they say) You can't buy me i don't care what you pay Don't ask me sun city because i ain't gonna play We gotta say Ain't gonna play sun city I, i i, i i i Ain't gonna play sun city Relocation to phony homelands Separation of families i can't understand 23 million can't vote because they're black We're stabbing our brothers and our sisters in the back Gotta say Ain't gonna play sun city Gotta Ain't gonna play sun city No no no no no Ain't gonna play sun city Said Ain't gonna play sun city Said Ain't gonna play sun city No no no no no Ain't gonna play sun city It ain't that far away It ain't that far away, sun city Don't go No no no no no no no Sun, sun, sun, sun city Ain't gonna play sun city Brothers and sisters being stabbed in the back Help, help, yeah yeah Don't, not gonna play sun city
