| What's the word? | |
| Tell me brother, have you heard | |
| From Johannesburg? | |
| What's the word? | |
| Sister/woman have you heard | |
| From Johannesburg? | |
| They tell me that our brothers over there | |
| Are defyin' the Man. | |
| We don't know for sure because the news we get | |
| Is unreliable, man. | |
| Well I hate it when the blood starts flowin', | |
| But I'm glad to see resistance growin'. | |
| Somebody tell me what's the word? | |
| Tell me brother, have you heard | |
| From Johannesburg? | |
| They tell me that our brothers over there | |
| Refuse to work in the mines. | |
| They may not get the news but they need to know | |
| We're on their side. | |
| Now sometimes distance brings misunderstanding, | |
| But deep in my heart I'm demanding: | |
| Somebody tell me what's the word? | |
| Sister/woman have you heard | |
| 'Bout Johannesburg? | |
| I know that their strugglin' over there | |
| Ain't gonna free me, | |
| But we all need to be strugglin' | |
| If we're gonna be free. | |
| Don't you wanna be free? |
