Artists United Against Apartheid-Sun City

[RamonesFan2020204]

This was a benefit project that Steve Van Zandt put together in the mid 80s. The project was following the tradition of other projects like it (eg Band Aid, We Are The World, etc). And I liked this better than "We Are The World". The project featured loads of people. Too many to list! Just a few that contributed in addition to Steve Van Zandt are:

Joey Ramone
Peter Wolf (from the J. Geils Band)
Daryl Hall
John Oates
Bob Geldof (of the Boomtown Rats)
Bono
Pete Townshend
Peter Gabriel
George Clinton
Bobby Womack
Darlene Love
Bruce Springsteen
Michael Monroe (or Hanoi Rocks)

and too many others I don't have time to list!!!!

It could've also featured Jack Blades, Kelly Keagy and Peter Frampton. I think this is one of the best benefit singles ever made along with Hear 'n Aid's "We're Stars". ANYWAY, onto the main point of the thread. This song could definately fit into an AMV, and feature a WIDE variety of anime and non-anime. Some suggestions I have for the song are Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon, Robotech, Darkwing Duck, Nadesico, Steam Detectives, Mega Man (American Cartoon), The Dirty Pair (OVA), Golgo 13, and I can't think of anything else right now.

LYRICS:

Sun City - Sun City
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City

Relocation to phony homelands
Separation of families I can't understand
Twenty-three million can't vote because they're black
We're stabbing our brothers and sisters in the back
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City

Our government tells us we're doing all we can
Constructive engagement is Ronald Reagan's plan
Meanwhile people are dying and giving us hope
This quiet diplomacy ain't nothing but a joke
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City

It's time to accept our responsibility
Freedom is a privilege nobody rides for free
Look around the world, baby, it cannot be denied
Somebody tell me why we are always on the wrong side?
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City

Oh is, is this a jungle? Boputhuswana is far away
But we know it's in South Africa, no matter what they say
You can't buy me, I don't care what you pay
Don't ask me Sun City because I ain't gonna play
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City

Relocation to phony homelands
Separation of families I can't understand
Twenty-three million can't vote because they're black
We're stabbing our brothers and sisters in the back
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City
I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City - I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City....
