Biko
September '77 / Port Elizabeth weather fine / It was business as usual / In police room 619 / Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko / Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko / Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja / -The man is dead

When I try to sleep at night / I can only dream in red / The outside world is black and white / With only one colour dead / Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko / Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko / Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja / -The man is dead

You can blow out a candle / But you can't blow out a fire / Once the flames begin to catch / The wind will blow it higher / Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko / Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja / -The man is dead

And the eyes of the world are / watching now / watching now

Peter Gabriel
