Burden Of Shame - UB40

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 (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

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

I`m a british subject, not proud of it While i carry the burden of shame (repeat)
