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
