Fine put me on the stand,

I'll go right on up

And tell the whole courtroom

How I've had enough.

Enough of being marginalised

In my own native land,

Enough of you white folks

Taking the hand,

Enough of you westerners

Using my home

As your paradise. Clear off,

Find your own!

Enough of being

At your beck and call,

I won't do it no longer,

No not at all.

This murder, I committed it,

I will plead

Guilty to charge.

I want white blood to bleed

Because one of you's dead

And there's a whole fuss

But was there such ado

When you killed thousands of us?

When you mowed us down

To take our island,

When you worked us to the bone,

Hanged and tried us

For crimes we didn't commit,

Just scapegoats.

I've had enough

This has to be a joke.

I refuse to rely on you

For my bread anymore,

So clap me in irons

And close the cell door.
