Victims Lyrics - Lucky Dube

Didn't know she was crying 

Until now as she turns to look at me 

She said, "Boy, o' boy 

You bring tears to my eyes" 

I said, "What?" 

She said, "Boy, o' boy 

You bring tears to my eyes" 

Bob Marley said 

"How long shall they kill our prophets 

While we stand aside and look" 

But little did he know that 

Eventually the enemy 

Will stand aside and look 

While we slash and kill our own brothers 

Knowing that already 

They are the victims of the situation 

Still licking wounds from brutality 

Still licking wounds from humiliation 

She said all these words and the 

Wrinkles on her face became 

Perfect trails for the tears and she said 

We are the victims every time 

We got double trouble every time 

We are the victims every time 

We got double trouble every time 

We are the victims every time 

We got double trouble every time 

She took me outside to the churchyard 

Showed me graves on the ground and she said 

There lies a man who fought for equality 

There lies a boy who died in his struggle 

Can all these heroes die in vain 

While we slash and kill our own brothers 

Knowing that already they are the 

Victims of the situation 

Still licking wounds from brutality 

Still licking wounds from humiliation 

We are the victims every time 

We got double trouble every time 

We are the victims every time 

We got double trouble every time 

We are the victims every time 

We got double trouble every time
