Well Jo`anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy oh
She don`t care about the rest at all
She got a system they call apartheid
It keeps a brother in subjection
But maybe pressure will make Jo`anna see
How everybody could live life as one oh
Gimme hope Jo`anna hope Jo`anna
Gimme hope Jo`anna `fore the mourning come
Gimme hope Jo`anna hope Jo`anna
Hope before the mourning come
I hear she makes all the golden money
To buy new weapons in the shape of guns
While every mother in a black Soweto
Fears killing of another son
Sneakin` across all the neighbours` borders
Now and again having a little fun
She doesn`t care if the fun and games she play
Is dangerous to everyone oh
CHORUS
Gimme hope Jo`anna gimme hope Jo`anna
Gimme hope Jo`anna `fore the mourning come
Gimme hope Jo`anna gimme hope Jo`anna
Hope before the mourning come
She got supporters in high up places
Who turn their heads to the city sun
Jo`anna give them the fancy money oh
To tempt anyone who`d come
She even know how to swing opinion
In every magazine and the journals
For every bad move that this Jo`anna make
They got a good explanation oh
REPEAT CHORUS
Even the preacher who works for Jesus
The Archbishop who`s a peaceful man
Together say that the freedom fighters will
Overcome the very strong
I wanna know if you`re blind Jo`anna
If you wanna hear the sound of drum
Can`t you see that the tide is turning oh
Don`t make me wait till the mourning come oh Send " Gimme Hope Jo Anna" Ringtone to your Cell
