Lyrics Third World Child - Johnny Clegg & Savuka
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
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
out
world'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,
I
should
learn
to
speak
a
little
bit
of
English
Maybe
practice
birth
control
Keep
away
from
controversial
politics
So
to
save
my
third
world
soul
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

Bits
of
songs
and
broken
drums
Are
all
he
could
recall
But
the
future
calls
his
name
out
loud
Carried
on
the
violence
of
the
guns
I
just
can
speak
a
little
bit
of
English
I
am
a
I
can
survive
I
am
fire
and
I
am
a
third
world
child
I
just
can
speak
a
little
bit
of
English
I
am
a
I
can
survive
I
am
fire
and
I
am
a
third
world
child
I
just
can
speak
a
little
bit
of
English
I
am
a
I
can
survive
I
am
fire
and
I
am
a
third
world
child
