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)
