There are murders that we must account for

Bloody deeds have been done in my name

Criminal acts we must pay for

And our children will shoulder the blame



(chorus)



I`m a british subjectnot proud of it

While I carry the burden of shame (repeat)



As a nation we`re following blindly

No-one stops to question why

Our money`s supporting an army

And a boy in soweto dies



(chorus)



I`m a british subjectnot proud of it

While I carry the burden of shame (repeat)



Must we go on ignoring forever

The cries of an african son

There`s a soldier`s hand on the trigger

But it`s we who are pointing the gun



(chorus)



I`m a british subjectnot proud of it

While I carry the burden of shame (repeat)
