Should We Fight Back Lyrics
Sip it slowly sweetness sometimes tempts us into the silly
Choked by cherry chocolate charm in a chariot of phony
Have we been fooled?
What, oh what are we to do?
Should we fight back?
Or should we just swallow our pride?
We won't use violence, we'll try not to break too many hearts
We're idealistic but we're also afraid
Should we fight back?
Or should we just swallow our pride?
Follow through the snow, the glow, to the golden city
Swallow our frowns, we'll leave here proud from this island filled with pity
Have we been fooled?
What, oh what are we to do?
Should we fight back?
Or should we just swallow our pride?
We won't use violence, we'll try not to break too many hearts
We're idealistic but we're also afraid
Should we fight back?
Or should we just swallow our ...
Pride in who we are and this battle will be won
In dreams we're invincible, we taste victory in our tongues
The messiah from the Transkei, born to inspire
Should we fight back?
Or should we just swallow our pride?
We won't use violence, we'll try not to break too many hearts
We're idealistic but we're also afraid
Should we fight back?
Or should we just swallow our pride?
Choked by cherry chocolate charm in a chariot of phony
What, oh what are we to do?
Or should we just swallow our pride?
We won't use violence, we'll try not to break too many hearts
We're idealistic but we're also afraid
Should we fight back?
Or should we just swallow our pride?
Swallow our frowns, we'll leave here proud from this island filled with pity
What, oh what are we to do?
Or should we just swallow our pride?
We won't use violence, we'll try not to break too many hearts
We're idealistic but we're also afraid
Should we fight back?
Or should we just swallow our ...
In dreams we're invincible, we taste victory in our tongues
The messiah from the Transkei, born to inspire
Or should we just swallow our pride?
We won't use violence, we'll try not to break too many hearts
We're idealistic but we're also afraid
Should we fight back?
Or should we just swallow our pride?

What are the meaning of this songs lyrics
@FennL Exactly what pallando14 said! It's about Mandela. The "island filled with pity" could refer to the Transkei or even to Robben island where Mandela and other political and non-political prisoners of the apartheid regime were imprisoned.
