lyrics

India, travel to Africa
Africa, travel to America
America link the Gaddar Party
Try and do things far away form home

One day, travel down to Germany
Italy, France and onto Switzerland
1934 I reach England
And get ready for assassination

Judge won’t you hear my plea?
Before you open up the court
I don’t care If I spend 99 years in jail
Or you send me to the electric chair

Travel the planet and endure some hardship
Walk the path to meifumado ready to endure hardship
Pan patrol stroll intro my target
One question before we get started
You know what a one way ticket to the morgue is?

Body bags stacked up in cold storage
Crush my culture and said it was garbage
Rule by the cruel rule of the free market
Ask some cracker grandpa what a cat o’ nine tail scar is

Judge won’t you hear my plea?
Before you open up the court
I don’t care If I spend 99 years in jail
Or you send me to the electric chair

Now we combust
Bredrin stay focused and conscious
Company rule is so unjust
Feel the tension of my ancestors in my muscle fibre and now I'm ready to crush

Shot him with my 6 chamber
Zetland by his side
Stood there looking at him
While he wallowed down and died
Now I'm on my journey to a Brixton prison cell
Tell the judge and jury that I did my time well

Judge, judge, Lordy judge
Send me to the electric chair

Burn burn
