Proudly South African Lyrics

New-born babies quickly become entrepreneurs
Build cars from wires and steel
Who needs engineers
The younger generation forgets they're young
Learn crude language and sign language in the prisons
We write our dreams on old OMO boxes
Hope everything gets washed clean
Violence-free
Why, we are in control

And we are happy

Because we are proudly South African

Over an old radio
In a shack
Sour milk from the town
A bread from Sasko Sam

But the lunch bags are empty
And everybody just wildly eats politics
Instead of moving on

But we are proudly South African
Listen to Koos Kombuis
Over an old radio
In a shack
Sour milk from the town
A bread from Sasko Sam
I teach the children to beg
In the traffic jam

And we stay proudly South African
Listen to Koos Kombuis
Over an old radio
In a shack
Sour milk from the town
A bread from Sasko Sam
I teach the children to beg

Proudly South African
Listen to Koos Kombuis
Over an old radio
In a shack
Sour milk from the town
A bread from Sasko Sam
I teach the children to beg
In the traffic jam
