Camouflage > Lyrics

Neighbours

Black men leaders cried for freedom,
white policemen shot them dead.
The survivors were sent to prison,
based on laws which no one understands.

White man yawning in his armchair,
smiled while watching white TV.
Hundreds of people dead or injured,
he never understands this hysteria.

What can we do,
what can we say?
Can it be law,
to kill your neighbour?
What can we do,
what can we say?
Can it be wrong,
to end it all?

Snipers sitting in police-cars,
cautiously stroking machine-guns.
Never thought of black suppression,
they were paid for every hit they have.
