How long(2x)
How long should we be drawers of water
How long
We struggle and struggle to make ends meet
We try to scratch a honest living from our land
Continually they remind us never to forget our role as drawers of water
How long (2x)
The class struggle will go on
The power struggle will go on
The sexism and racism will go on
Until right overcome wrong
I know they will try to perpetuate our role as mere producers
I know I know they will try to consolidate their role as happy consumers
I know
How long (4x)
It's been too long too long
How long (3x)
How long must our children go to bed on empty belly
How long
How long must we suffer hell on earth
How long
How long must we live as refugees in our homeland
How long
How long must we suffer in silence I rest my case your honour
