0:14Steam ship sail down the river
0:17Fight the mosquitoes that fly in a swarm
0:20White smoke covers the jungle
0:23See Dr Livingston land with a thunk
0:26Down where the sad willows gather
0:33Young women weep for their dying babies
0:39I am a white man in Africa
0:45If I were to stay here
0:48There'd be no one to save me
0:51I hear the drums
0:53I know it's urgent
0:54I hear survival in his hands
0:57Switch to record
0:59I get the picture
1:01But I will never understand
1:18Mad world invisible army
1:21Blow up the bridges and come like a storm
1:24Young girl eyes full of promise
1:27Carry the baby and keeping it warm
1:31Down where the sad willows gather
1:37Young men go down on their knees
1:43I am a white man in Africa
1:49With more than just my god to appease
1:55I hear the drums
1:57I know it's urgent
1:59I hear survival in his hands
2:02Switch to record
2:03I get the picture
2:05But I will never understand
2:08How there is love in his face
2:12'Midst of all this waste
2:21In the Mozambique sun
2:25Under the gun
2:29I hear the drums
2:32I hear survival in his hands
2:35I hear the drums
2:38There is a curse upon this land
2:42I hear the drums
2:43I know it's urgent
2:45I hear survival in his hands
2:48Hit record
2:50Get the picture
2:51I will never understand
3:01Carry the sound and the fury
3:08Left all alone in a war zone
3:14Carry the sound and the fury
3:27Hours later
3:28Thoughts of my bed
3:29Leave me tired and ready for sleep
3:32So tell me about all the places you go
3:36All the lives that you swallow the people you keep
3:39Deep in a monastery
3:41That's where I want to be
3:43Wrestle my soul
Steam ship sail down the river Fight the mosquitoes that fly in a swarm White smoke covers the jungle See Dr Livingston land with a thunk Down where the sad willows gather Young women weep for their dying babies I am a white man in Africa If I were to stay here There'd be no one to save me I hear the drums I know it's urgent I hear survival in his hands Switch to record I get the picture But I will never understand Mad world invisible army Blow up the bridges and come like a storm Young girl eyes full of promise Carry the baby and keeping it warm Down where the sad willows gather Young men go down on their knees I am a white man in Africa With more than just my god to appease I hear the drums I know it's urgent I hear survival in his hands Switch to record I get the picture But I will never understand How there is love in his face 'Midst of all this waste In the Mozambique sun Under the gun I hear the drums I hear survival in his hands I hear the drums There is a curse upon this land I hear the drums I know it's urgent I hear survival in his hands Hit record Get the picture I will never understand Carry the sound and the fury Left all alone in a war zone Carry the sound and the fury Hours later Thoughts of my bed Leave me tired and ready for sleep So tell me about all the places you go All the lives that you swallow the people you keep Deep in a monastery That's where I want to be Wrestle my soul
