Song language: English
Expect the Bayonet |
| From the sorrow we created |
| A fragile state of blood and whim |
| Made for rich men in their white skin |
| People bolder than I |
| Stood up to the lie |
| That equality has left! |
| (My! My!) |
| But it leaves no doubt in my mind |
| I’ve been reading the news and you’ll surely regret |
| If you don’t give us the ballot, expect the bayonet! |
| Well, expect the bayonet! |
| (Yeah! Yeah!) |
| Expect the bayonet! |
| Don’t say I didn’t warn ya |
| Cos for every man high upon the hog |
| There’s a dogwood forest buried in the fog |
| How naked is your eye? |
| Do you ever wonder why |
| You’re being asked to recompense |
| When it’s the last sign of your defence? |
| So you better resolve or you’ll surely regret |
| If you don’t give us the ballot, expect the bayonet! |
| Well, expect the bayonet! |
| (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!) |
| When the name came down |
| I covered my ears afraid of the sound |
| But we got the power to take back our nights |
| Give up our silence and give up our time alone… |
| We’re not on our own! |
| Though violent minds hatch violent plans |
| For many it’s the only thing they understand |
| When the dog whistle is ringing |
| It’s the currency that they deal in |
| So before the world’s been reduced to soot |
| Solidarity for those underfoot |
| And I better remind you or you’ll surely regret |
| If you don’t give us the ballot, expect the bayonet! |
| Oh well, expect the bayonet! |
| (Yeah! Yeah!) |
| Expect the bayonet! |
| Oh well, expect the bayonet! |
| (Yeah! Yeah!) |
| Expect the bayonet! |
| Oh well, expect the bayonet! |
| (Yeah! Yeah!) |
| Expect the bayonet! |
