The song Burden Of Shame is performed by UB40 in the album named Live in the year 1994 .
There are murders that we must account for
Bloody deeds have been done in my name
Criminal acts we must pay for
And our children will shoulder the blame
(chorus)
I`m a british subject, not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame (repeat)
As a nation we`re following blindly
No-one stops to question why
Our money`s supporting an army
And a boy in soweto dies
(chorus)
I`m a british subject, not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame (repeat)
Must we go on ignoring forever
The cries of an african son
There`s a soldier`s hand on the trigger
But it`s we who are pointing the gun
(chorus)
I`m a british subject, not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame (repeat)
