Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't sing me an anthem
'Cause you don't know the words
Words are hard to remember
When they mean nothing at all
To the hearts who still are waiting
For their voice to be heard
Don't sing me your anthem
When your anthem's absurd
[Verse 2]
We might have been born here
But we're not young and free
We weren't born yesterday and only liberal by degree
[Verse 3]
This land may be beautiful, but it cannot be called fair
So don't sing me your anthem till we've learned how to share
[Verse 4]
We are the lucky country
Where anyone can win
If you were born to the right family
And have the white coloured skin
[Verse 5]
So don't sing me my anthem
'Cause the words can't be felt
What's pride in your country
Without pride in yourself?
[Verse 6]
What's pride in your country
Without pride in yourself?
[Verse 7]
Don't sing me an anthem
'Cause you don't know the words
Words are hard to remember
When they mean nothing at all
To the hearts who still are waiting
For their voice to be heard
Don't sing me your anthem
When your anthem's absurd
[Verse 8]
Don't sing me your anthem
When your anthem's absurd
[Verse 9]
Don't sing me your anthem
When your anthem's absurd
[Verse 10]
Don't sing me your anthem
