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 subject, not 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 subject, not 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 subject, not proud of it
while i carry the burden of shame (repeat)
