Song Lyrics:

Ahh.. Sun City
Sun City
South Africa
South Africa

We’re rockers and rappers united and strong
We’re here to talk about South Africa we don’t like what’s
going on (tell it)
It’s time for some justice it’s time for the truth (speak
it)
We’ve realized there’s only one thing we can do
We gotta say
I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City
Oh, no no no no

I / I
I / I
Oh I / I
I ain’t gonna play Sun City

Everybody say
I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City
Not gonna be

I, I I, I I I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City


Relocation to phony homelands
Separation of families I can’t understand
23 million can’t vote because they’re black
We’re stabbing our brothers and sisters in the back
We’re gonna say
I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City

We’re gonna say
I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City

Our government tells us we’re doing all we can
Constructive Engagement is Ronald Reagan’s plan
Meanwhile people are dying and giving up hope
This quiet diplomacy ain’t nothing but a joke
We’re gonna say
I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City

I ain’t gonna play no no
I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City

Don’t wanna play, don’t wanna play, don’t wanna play

It’s time to accept our responsibility
Freedom is a privilege nobody rides for free
Look around the world baby it cannot be denied
Can somebody tell me why we’re always on the wrong side

I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City

Will someone tell me now?

I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City

Make me wanna scream sometimes
Oh yeah

I , I, I I, I
I , I, I I, I
I

Mm yeah yeah / Not gonna
Mm yeah yeah / Not gonna
Mm yeah yeah / Not gonna
Mm yeah yeah / Not gonna

I , I, I I, I I, I I
You, you, you, you better not go
It ain’t that far away Sun City
I I I, I I, I I I, I I

[scratched repeatedly]
Boputhuswana

Boputhuswana is far away
But we know it’s in South Africa no matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
You can’t buy me I don’t care what you pay
Don’t ask me Sun City because I ain’t gonna play
No we gotta say
I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City
We’re not gonna play Sun City

I, I I, I I I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City

I don’t want to play Sun City

Relocation to phony homelands
Separation of families I can’t understand
23 million can’t vote because they’re black
We’re stabbing our brothers and your sisters in the back

We’re gonna say
I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City

Well well well
I / I
I / I
I / I
I ain’t gonna play Sun City

I / I
I / I
I / I
Ain’t gonna play Sun City

Make me wanna scream sometimes

Not gonna play
Don’t go
No no no no no no no
South, south

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Ain’t gonna play Sun City
Brothers and sisters being stabbed in the back

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Make you wanna scream sometimes
Make you wanna scream sometimes

Ain’t gonna play, no
Shame on you, don’t play Sun City
Come on world, come on world
Make you wanna scream sometimes

M-m-m-m-make you wanna scream sometimes
Ain’t gonna play Sun City
(Oh)

Gotta gotta
Here in love

You you you better not go
I I I, I I, I I I, I I
I, I, I I, I I, I I

[Something like this]
(So when they try to get you to roll)
(They try to get you to go)
(They try to get your mind, get a hold everyone)
(We are not gonna play Sun City no more)
