Tekst piosenki
Steam ship sail down the river Fight the mosquitoes that lie in the swamp White smoke cover the jungle see Dr. Livingston land with a thump Down where the sad widows 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 widows 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 In the 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 hear the drums, know it's urgent hear survival in his hands hit record get the picture, I will never understand
