Soldiers for Righteousness Songtext
von Lucky Dube

Teacher, teacher, teacher
Ever since we came to town
You don′t look a happy man
Is our mission (a threat to yours)
Is our mission (a threat to yours)

In case you don't know who we are
I′m gonna tell you who we are
We are the men your father warned you about
We are the men your mother told you to stay away from

We are the soldiers for righteousness
We are the soldiers for righteousness
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) we are the soldiers for righteousness
Soldiers for righteousness (oh-oh-oh-oh)


We fight against (tribalism)
We fight against (oppression)
We are born to fight against (corruption)
Oh, we fight against (all racism)
We are born to fight against (apartheid) apartheid
We are the men your mother warned you about, little boy
We are those men your oppressive father told you about

Soldiers for righteousness
Soldiers for righteousness
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) we are the soldiers for righteousness

And we are not sent here
By the government that pays you
And we are not sent here
By the politicians you drink with
We're sent by the poor (poor)
Somebody suffering (suffering)
We're sent by the oppressed

I wanna tell you one more time
Who we are
We are the men your mother warned you about, yeah
We are those men your oppressive father told you to stay away from

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) I say soldiers for righteousness
Soldiers for righteousness
Soldiers for righteousness (oh-oh-oh-oh)


Soldiers for righteousness (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Soldiers for righteousness
Soldiers for righteousness
Soldiers for righteousness
Soldiers for righteousness (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Soldiers for righteousness

Get up!
Get up!
Get up!
Move out!
