Burden Of Shame Lyric

by Ub40

Lyric:



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: X2]

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



[chorus]



[repeat: X2]

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



[chorus]



[repeat: X2]

I'm A British Subject, Not Proud Of It

While I Carry The Burden Of Shame
