Paroles
Look here old chap it’s us who gave you civilization
Invasion!
If a man in your house told you to come out
And told you to live in the garden
If it happened to you tell me what would you do
Wouldn’t you fight and fight and fight them?
Those old old Europeans they had a lot of man
They went over to other peoples land
To conquer was their intention
Those old old Europeans they had a lot of man
They went over to America to conquer the red Indians
Well I don’t know about you but I tell you what I do
When I am looking at a western
When I’m watching the telly, I’d don’t really see
The red Indians as the real bad man
They had a lot to give, because they did not want to live
In a little old dirty reservation
They did not care because they were just there
Defending their own homeland
Europeans come not 1 by 1 but in their tens and thousands
With the intention of taking all the best land
And giving the Indians the bad one
Well you must understand that the red Indian
Were not just savages and madman
I am aware that they were just there
Reacting like any human
If a man in your house told you to come out
And told you to live in the garden
If it happened to you tell me what would you do
Wouldn’t you fight and fight and fight them?
If a man in your house told you to come out
And told you to live in the garden
If it happened to you tell me what would you do
Wouldn’t you fight and fight and fight them?
Those old old Europeans they had a lot of man
They went over to other peoples land
To conquer was their intention
Those old old Europeans they had a lot of man
They went over to South Africa to try and conquer the South Africans
Cecil Rhodes and his posse of Europeans they came to we African land
They came for a fight with the gun in their right
And the Bible in their left hand
They treated us with nuff disgust
Never treated us like man and woman
Treated us like something from outer space
Like something that you wouldn’t spit on
We were first class citizens in Africa
They made us second class citizens
It is mad and bad and so so sad
To be a prisoner in your own land
But me people fight for the truth and right
And truth and right must stand
So that system apartheid must be destroyed
It can’t carry on too long
If a man in your house told you to come out
And told you to live in the garden
If it happened to you tell me what would you do
Wouldn’t you fight and fight and fight them?
If a man in your house told you to come out
And told you to live in the garden
If it happened to you tell me what would you do
Wouldn’t you fight and fight and fight them?
Those old old Europeans they had a lot of man
They went over to other peoples land
To conquer was their intention
Those old old Europeans were a very cheeky man
They would turn round and say that they gave us civilisation
Look here old chap its us who gave you civilisation
If it wasn’t for us the you’d be running around
Without any clothes on
We taught you to eat with a knife in your right and the fork in your left hand
If it wasn’t for us you would be fighting with spears instead of which shotguns
We think your gold and silver is sufficient payment
For bringing you out of the past and into the present
You owe a lot to us I’m sure you are in agreement
So anything we say to do just do it and keep silent
These so-called civilised men came with their big weapons
Killed off Tigers, elephants, rhinoceroses and Lions
Then put their heads in dining rooms for decoration
Now tell me does that sound like a civilised person
Those old old Europeans they had a lot of man
They went over to other peoples land
To conquer was their intention
Those old old Europeans were very clever man
They always made it seem like that they were the righteous one
Now everybody in here has got a television
And each and every body must have seen tarzan
You know the one, where you see a whole heap of Africans
Looking kinda mean with their war paint on
And From one tree swings a white man
Shouting aaaaaah like any mad man
And with 1 dry piece of knife in his hand
He kills all the Africans one by one
Well me and you know it’s imagination
But to some people it is confusion
It’s just another trick a diversion
Created by those grand old Europeans
Those old old Europeans they had a lot of man
They went over to other peoples land
To conquer was their intention
Those old old Europeans they had a lot of man
They went over to America, went over to South Africa
Went over to India, went over to Australia, went over to Canada
Went over the Jamaica, went …
If it wasn’t for us the you’d be running around
Without any clothes on
Traduction des paroles
Comme quelque chose sur lequel tu ne cracherais pas
Nous étions des citoyens de première classe en Afrique
Ils ont fait de nous des citoyens de seconde classe
Il est fou et mauvais et tellement triste
Un prisonnier dans votre propre pays
Mais moi les gens se battent pour la vérité et le droit
Et la vérité et le droit doivent subsister
Ce système l'apartheid doit donc être détruit
Il ne peut pas porter trop longtemps
Si un homme dans votre maison vous a dit de sortir
Et vous a dit de vivre dans le jardin
Si ça t'arrivait dis moi Que ferais tu
Ne vous battriez-vous pas et combattez-vous et combattez-les?
Si un homme dans votre maison vous a dit de sortir
Et vous a dit de vivre dans le jardin
Si ça t'arrivait dis moi Que ferais tu
Ne vous battriez-vous pas et combattez-vous et combattez-les?
Ces vieux vieux Européens ils avaient beaucoup d'homme
Ils sont allés sur la terre d'autres peuples
Conquérir était leur intention
Ces vieux vieux Européens étaient un homme très effronté
Ils se retournaient et disaient qu'ils nous avaient donné la civilisation
Regardez ici le vieux c'est nous qui vous a donné la civilisation
Si ce n'était pas pour nous vous courriez
Sans aucun vêtement sur
Nous vous avons appris à manger avec un couteau dans votre droite et la fourchette dans votre main gauche
Si ce n'était pas pour nous vous vous battriez avec des lances au lieu de quels fusils de chasse
Nous pensons que votre or et argent est paiement suffisant
Pour vous faire sortir du passé et du présent
Vous nous devez beaucoup je suis sûr que vous êtes d'accord
Donc tout ce que nous disons de faire faites le et gardez le silence
Ces soi-disant hommes civilisés sont venus avec leurs grandes armes
Tué tigres, éléphants, rhinocéros et Lions
Ensuite, mettez leurs têtes dans les salles à manger pour la décoration
Dis moi ça ressemble à une personne civilisée
Ces vieux vieux Européens ils avaient beaucoup d'homme
Ils sont allés sur la terre d'autres peuples
Conquérir était leur intention
Ces vieux Européens étaient très intelligents
Ils ont toujours fait croire qu'ils étaient les justes
Maintenant tout le monde ici a une télévision
