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)
