Asian Dub Foundation - Debris lyrics

Written by: das, savale, pandit, zaman Spread power with words The gold that you stole The pillage and the plunder Is it any wonder that we're here? It ain't no mystery The fecting and the shooting That's the real history We're only here 'cos you were there Consequences of your global pillage I never had the feeling to either destroy or conquer I sift to the debris you left in your wake When you pushed us in to third place When the truth is uncovered and the story's been told You won't be able to look me in the face ..... We're only here 'cos you were there Here in england a global village Consequences of your global pillage Master d chat it up .... I sift to the debris you left in your wake When you pushed us in to third place When the truth is uncovered and the story's been told You won't be able to look me in the face ..... You treated my mother's land Just like one big plantation You did this to the african You did this to the asian Famine was caused not by god but taxation The fruits of our labour were used to build your nation s**ing us dry - our country's natural juice Yes our underdevelopment was caused by your abuse. Gonna check the missing pages We'll be adding up the numbers We'll be looking for witnesses so they can tell our brothers We'll be using the technology Jammin' with it consciously We are gonna spread power with words.
