Sorry |
Please don’t say sorry |
Presuming a respect for what you say |
If in your heart you mean it |
Then you’ll understand me feeling |
You must prove it; |
sign the cheque without delay |
Most humbly yours, four hundred years back pay |
I’m not begging charity |
Don’t confuse the things I say |
Give me what belongs to me |
Give me what belongs to me |
Just don’t say sorry |
As if that can excuse this tyranny |
No value in your talking |
Money speaks and bullshit’s walking |
Round in circles re-inventing history |
Trying to erase our memory |
I’m not begging charity… Etc |
If you say sorry |
Can I assume you’ve realised the shame |
The seeds of your oppression |
Fall and ripen with aggression |
You can’t hold us any longer with your chains |
Time to compensate us for our claims |
Don’t bother wi' no sorry |
Don’t bother wi' delay |
A four hundred years |
Is not just the other day |
I’m not begging charity |
Don’t confuse up your mind |
Payment overdue |
Fe a long long time |
You come a we gate |
No bother hesitate |
You tek away we tings |
Like a damn pirate |
