Love the Music - Hate Racism

The slave trade was the
basis of the world economy
to keep the lifestyle of the rich
supplied with luxury 

Fortunes could be made
trading in commodities
cotton tobacco sugar
coffee and tea 

Clarkson and Wilberforce campaigned
to have it banned - they said the black
man was the white man's burden
Can you understand ? 

The USA's a country
where the biggest is the best
You'll find the KKK logo
on a pack of cigarettes 

The white supremacists wear
pointed hats and join the dance
Griffiths made a film about them
called "Intolerance" 

In the UK today
there's prejudice and bigotry
racial discrimination
and inequality 

Police use stop and search
to victimise minorities
That's how they start the
Brixton riots in the 1980s 

So ask Mrs. Lawrence
how long she had to wait
to have her day in court
It came nineteen years too late 

Read "How to Kill a Mocking Bird"
Yes justice must be done
Tell me how did O. J. Simpson
get away with murder number one ? 

'Cos if he's rich and famous
then a black man can be free
But the poor are still exploited
Look around you and you'll see
