Taken from Graceland: The Afrcan Concert

Children were flying bullets dying The mothers screaming and crying The fathers were working in the cities The evening news brought out all the publicity:
chorus: "Just a little atrocity, deep in the city" Soweto blues Soweto blues Soweto blues Soweto blues Benikuphi ma madoda (where were the men) abantwana beshaywa (when the children were throwing stones) ngezimbokodo Mabedubula abantwana (when the children were being shot) Benikhupi na (where were you?)
There was a full moon on the golden city Looking at the door was the man without pity Accusing everyone of conspiracy Tightening the curfew charging people with walking
Yes, the border is where he was awaiting Waiting for the children, frightened and running A handful got away but all the others Hurried their chain without any publicity
