The Call (Live at Green Point Stadium. Cape Town, South Africa. 29.11.2003)
There was a man in the street just the other day With a tear and a hand stretched out looking my way Said 'your money, your sympathy, I really don't need What I want is you to see how my brothers bleed'
Doctor, oh doctor, my world needs attention Got sickness and poverty just too bad to mention Got people too blind to see what's going by My country's sold it's wealth and now we can't figure out why But the rest of the world wants it back now They got no weapons so they just bug us for the crack now You gonna to stand by and let this go on indefinitely? Let our leaders articulate our indifference with impunity Are you a man? Or just a number?

Help, help, we need you Your world needs you Needs you to know Needs you to sit up Needs you to take action and say No, this will not happen No, we will not let this happen
No, it shall not be one law for the black, one law for the white It shall not be one law for the man, one law for the woman It shall not be one law for the heterosexual, one law for the homosexual One law for the rich country, one law for the poor country It shall be one law only It shall be equality, equality of opportunity Equality of healthcare, equality of power Equality of civil rights
