[Eb]
No stars in the black night Looks like the sky fell down
No sun in the daylight Looks like it's sand to the ground

[Dbm]
[Eb] See [Ab] them captains [Eb] and kings See them in every blue uniform
See them riding shiny things, [Ab] I

[Ab] The
[Eb]
temperature is rising [Ab] [Eb] The fever way hot
Mr.
Iron, [Abm] [Eb] you got more than you got
The kings are under my [Ab] name [Eb]

[Ab]
[Ebm]
This song written about a man [Ab] in a shanty town [Ebm] outside of Johannesburg
[Ab] A man is sick of looking down the [Ebm] barrel of white South Africa
A man [Ab] who is at the point where he is ready to take up arms against his [Ebm] oppressor
A [Abm] man who has lost faith in the peacemakers of the [Ebm] West
While they argue, and while they fail to [Ab] support a man like Bishop Tutu
[Ebm] And his request for economic sanctions [Ab] against South Africa
Am I [Ebm] bugging you?
I don't mean to bug you
[Abm] Okay Edge, play the blues
