Brand Suid Afrika

Brand Suid-Afrika Fokofpolisiekar lyrics

Vir jou is daar nog messe wat wag
in die bosse buite jou huis in die nag

ons sal mos veilig wees
ons sal mos veilig wees
ons hou ons gewetens skoon
ons sluit toe die deur

ons het pertrol gevat
en ons het al ons brue afgebrand
voordat ons aan die anderkant was

en ek besef nou
en ek besef nou eers

bloed en yster
bloed en grond
bloed en olie
bloed en grond
bang en lui en desperaat
daars niks nuuts onder die son nie
en in die skaduwee
brand Suid-Afrika

wat weet ek van eerlik wees
my gewete syfer deur
my wakker lewe is hierdie ou man se geheu

en ek besef nou
en ek besef nou eers

bloed en yster
bloed en grond
bloed en olie
bloed en grond
bang en lui en desperaat
daars niks nuuts onder die son nie
en in die skaduwee
brand Suid-Afrika

en ek besef nou
en ek besef nou eers
die ossewabrandwag
het gisteraand die munisipaliteit opgeblaas

bloed en yster
bloed en grond
bloed en olie
bloed en grond
bang en lui en desperaat
daars niks nuuts onder die son nie
en in die skaduwee
brand Suid-Afrika

en ons vir jou

landmyne van skuldgevoelens
in 'n eenman-konsentrasiekamp
jy kla oor die toestand van ons land
wel fokken doen iets daaromtrent
brand Suid-Afrika

fokofpolisiekar - brand suid afrika

"In the music video for "Brand Suid-Afrika" we find the band playing alone in a camp terrain when suddenly a group of cars surround them, each car containing a different group of people. The groups consist of a dysfuncional family, two "boere" (farmers), a young couple, and a group of boys. While the band plays, clips of the people are shown in which they at first appear to be normal, but the more we see of them, the more we realise that none of them are in fact as normal as they seemed at first. At first, we see the young couple talking in the back seat of a car, the family grouping together to take a photograph and the two "boere" sitting together on a car in front of a fire, while the one looks at the other one, and a bunch of "trompoppies" (South African cheerleaders). When the song starts to become heavy things get out of control at the camp site. The couple start to undress and furiously make-out, after the family photograph is taken the husband starts arguing with his wife, the teenage daughter walks off, the 13 year old son laughs at the situation and the domestic worker for the family just looks at the camera with a concerned, almost depressed look on her face. The young boys have become hooligans and start beating another boy while fireworks start shooting around them and the boere take each others hands, and near the end go to kiss each other, which we do not see (because the camera moves down) but we see them grabbing each others backsides. And when the lead "trompoppie" drops her baton stick we see the lead singer of Fokofpolisiekar, "Francois van Coke" talking in a bunch of microphones, twirling his finger around in circles. The video ends with the band playing and the family photo appears in front of us but then bursts into flames and the logo of the "Brand Suid-Afrika" CD-single (An eagle with its heart visible standing on a circle with a picture of Africa where missiles are being dropped on South Africa, which is on fire) appears in front of us and stays there until the music-video ends."

Burn South Africa (Brand Suid Afrika) English lyrics

For you the knives still wait,

in the bushes outside your house at night,
we should be safe, we should be safe
we keep our conscience clear and lock our doors

We took petrol
and we burned down all our bridges
before we got to the other side
and now I realise
and now I realise for the first time

Chorus
blood and iron, blood and land
blood and oil, blood and land
scared and lazy and desperate
there's nothing new under the sun
and in the shadow South Africa is burning

What do I know about being honest?
my conscience flows through
my waking life is through the old mans memories
and now I realise
and now I realise for the first time

Chorus

And now I realise
And now I realise for the first time
The Ossewa Brandwag
Did it yesterday
The municipality
They blew it up

Chorus

And us for you!
And us for you...

Landmines of guilt
in a one man concentration camp
you complain about the state of the nation
well fucking do something about it
Burn South-Africa!

Brand Suid Afrika Afrikaans Lyrics

Vir jou is daar nog messe wat wag,

in die bosse buite jou huis in die nag,
ons sal mos veilig wees, ons sal mos veilig wees,
ons hou ons gewetens skoon en sluit toe die deur

Ons het petrol gevat
en ons het al ons brûe afgebrand
voor dat ons aan die anderkant was
En ek besef nou
en ek besef nou eers

Chorus
bloed en yster bloed en grond
bloed en olie bloed en grond
bang en lui en desperaat
daars niks nuuts onder die son nie
en in die skaduwee brand Suid-Afrika

Wat weet ek van eerlik wees?
my gewete syfer deur
my wakker lewe is deur die ou man se geheue
En ek besef nou
en ek besef nou eers

Chorus

En ek besef nou
en ek besef nou eers
Die Ossewa Brandwag
het gisteraand
die munisipaliteit
opgeblaas

Chorus

En ons vir jou!
En ons vir jou...

Landmyne van skuldgevoelens
in 'n eenman konsentrasiekamp
jy kla oor die toestand van ons land
wel fokken doen iets daaromtrent
Brand Suid-Afrika!
