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

I'm a british subject, not proud of it

While I carry the burden of shame...

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

I'm a british subject, not proud of it

While I carry the burden of shame...

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

I'm a british subject, not proud of it

While I carry the burden of shame...
