They say they brought them civilisation
The rule of law and education
Enriched themselves through exploitation
Dissension met with incarceration

They rounded up the men, the women and children
Put them in a camp called "Labour and Freedom"
Broke them on the wheel, then they killed them
Torture, rape, mass execution

Tonight you wave your union flags
And celebrate the past
But where's the glory?
How many deaths are you meant to forget?
So now, the sun has finally set
Now there's nothing left
Just a whitewashed history
If you want to move forward then you've got to let go
Of lies...before you realise......

A banquet held in celebration,
Gratitude, glorification
Thousands gave thanks to the ruling nation
While millions died from deliberate starvation

Don't blame nature, this famine was man-made
There was no shortage - they stole the grain
Loaded on to ships, then they set sail
A murderous cargo - they call it free trade

Africa, India and Ireland
The Caribbean and The Transvaal
China, Malaysia, Pakistan.
The blood of Empire soaked these lands

Selective history, forgotten past
Exceptionalism can never last
An angry, hateful, splintered nation
A country hellbent on self-destruction
