Tribal Statistics Manfred Mann's Earth Band

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

Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Venda

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…
