Invasion

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? 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? 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 ...
