Sip it slowly sweetness sometimes tempts us into the silly
Choked by cherry chocolate charm in a chariot of phony
Have we been fooled
What, oh what are we to do
Should we fight back
Or should we just swallow our pride
We won't use violence, we'll try not to break too many hearts
We're idealistic but we're also afraid
Should we fight back
Or should we just swallow our pride
Follow through the snow, the glow, to the golden city
Swallow our frowns, we'll leave here proud from this island filled with pity
Have we been fooled
What, oh what are we to do
Should we fight back
Or should we just swallow our pride
We won't use violence, we'll try not to break too many hearts
We're idealistic but we're also afraid
Should we fight back
Or should we just swallow our
Pride in who we are and this battle will be won
In dreams we're invincible, we taste victory in our tongues
The messiah from the Transkei, born to inspire
Should we fight back
Or should we just swallow our pride
We won't use violence, we'll try not to break too many hearts
We're idealistic but we're also afraid
Should we fight back
Or should we just swallow our pride
