Invasion - Macka B

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 …
