Tribal Statistics
Who are you?
Give details
Everywhere you look now, questionnaires
They want every detail of your affairs
Oh, so many people lives
Wrapped up in those…
Statistics, statistics – figures in a page
Statistics, statistics – numbers on a tape

Everywhere you go now you're in their sight
Yes, they classify you – shades of black and white
Oh, so many people lives
Wrapped up in those…
Statistics, statistics – figures in a page
Statistics, statistics – numbers on a tape
Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Venda
Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Venda
No chance of going back and putting things right
These people rule with facts in the night
So many people lives
Wrapped up in those…
Statistics, statistics – figures in a page
Statistics, statistics – numbers on a tape
Statistics, statistics
Who are you?
Give details
Who are you?
