UB40 Burden of Sham Lyrics

Burden of Shame
by UB40

There are murders that we must account for
b_____ 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)
