Song Lyrics - Burden Of Shame
 Send Ub40 "Burden Of Shame" Ringtones to your Cell  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 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 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 I'm a British subject, not proud of it While I carry the burden of shame [Repeat] |
