It's wrong apartheid

The wretchedness of Satan¡¯s wrath

Will come to seize you at last

¡¯cause even he frowns upon the deeds you are doing

And you know deep in your heart

You¡¯ve no covenant with God

¡¯cause he would never countenance people abusing

You know apartheid¡¯s wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha)

Like slavery was wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha)

Like the holocaust was wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha)

Apartheid is wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha), wrong

It¡¯s wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha)

Wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha)

The pain you cause in God¡¯s name

Points only to yourself to blame

For the negative karma you will be receiving

¡¯cause when people are oppressed

With atrocities that test

The future of all mankind we, the world won¡¯t stand seeing

You know apartheid¡¯s wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha)

Like slavery was wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha)

Like the holocaust was wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha)

Apartheid is wrong (Qha), it¡¯s wrong (Qha), wrong

It¡¯s wrong (Qha), it¡¯s wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha)

Wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha), wrong (Qha)
