Who gave the orders to shoot in South Africa?
It must be some mad dictator, yeah
(Who is he, and what's his name?)
And who is the brute in Romania
That's got to answer to our Creator?
Children marching in the streets, protesting peacefully
They have a right like everyone to secure their liberty
Then how come you shoot them down, cold-blooded?
Like fair game for the hunter's gun, they didn't have nowhere to run
Who gave the orders to shoot in Nicaragua?
It must be some mad dictator, yeah
(Who is he, and what's his name?)
And who is the brute in Beijing
That's got to answer to our Creator?
In the name of human rights, give us freedom of speech
If you say you care for the people, practice what you preach
Don't worry, shoot them down, hey, let them live
Who are you to take a life when you don't have one to give?
Who gave the orders to shoot in South Africa?
It must be some mad dictator, yeah
(Who is he, and what's his name?)
And who is the brute in Romania
That's got to answer to our Creator?
Who gave the orders to shoot in Nicaragua?
It must be the same dictator
(Who is he, we know his name)
And who is the brute in Beijing
That's got to answer to our Creator?
Oh yeah
(Who is he, and what's his name?)
Oh yeah, whoa yeah
Children marching in the streets, protesting peacefully
They have a right like everyone to secure their liberty
Then how come you shoot them down, cold-blooded?
Like fair game for the hunter's gun, they didn't have nowhere to run
Who gave the orders to shoot in South Africa?
It must be some mad dictator, yeah
(Who is he, we know his name)
And who is the brute in Romania
That's got to answer to our Creator?
(Who is he, and what's his name?)
Who gave the orders to shoot in Nicaragua?
It must be some mad dictator
(Who is he, we know his name)
And who is the brute in Beijing
(Who is he, and what's his name?)
That's got to answer to our Creator?
