about
Recorded at De Nije Hoogezand 1988
lyrics
a demonstration on the 1st of May. two black boys for hours and hours on their way. singing songs against Apartheid, singing songs about equal rights. cops and army stand in line, fingers on the triggers, helmets shine. one false move and the guns go off. two boys fall down, couldn't hide fast enough. their funeral becomes a secret-police raid, arrests and photographs are being made. friends are busted and put in a cell, white cops laugh as they're going through hell. frightened to death in a deadly game. interrogated and tortured 'til they give a name. harmless kids fighting for their own rights, beaten up, electroshocked 'cause they're not white (Jansel).
