Black Boys On Mopeds |
| Margareth Thatcher on TV |
| Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing |
| It seems strange that she should be offended |
| The same orders are given by her |
| I’ve said this before now |
| You said I was childish and you’ll say it now |
| «Remember what I told you |
| If they hated me they will hate you» |
| England’s not the mythical land of Madame George and roses |
| It’s the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds |
| And I love my boy and that’s why I’m leaving |
| I don’t want him to be aware that there’s |
| Any such thing as grieving |
| Young mother down at Smithfield |
| 5 am, looking for food for her kids |
| In her arms she holds three cold babies |
| And the first word that they learned was «please» |
| These are dangerous days |
| To say what you feel is to dig your own grave |
| «Remember what I told you |
| If you were of the world they would love you» |
| England’s not the mythical land of Madame George and roses |
| It’s the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds |
| And I love my boy and that’s why I’m leaving |
| I don’t want him to be aware that there’s |
| Any such thing as grieving. |
