COMPENSATED EMANCIPATION Lyrics
Why am I here?
Why am i here?
Why am I here reading this I paid to be here blood money out of cotton pants
Made myself a ship out of Andrew Jacksons
A hundred (?)
At any moment
At any moment the Queen should be coming around
Coming around at any moment the Queen will be coming around
Coming around coming around at any moment the Queen will be coming around
Coming around the Tilbury docks, coming around
Coming around black bully hill
Coming around to tell me how whiteness bridges the geographical
How it bridges continental boundaries with handshakes and I.O.U.s
At any moment the Queen, shall be coming around
At any moment the Queen shall be coming around wearing more jewellery to tell me about the fact of blackness
And how anti-blackness has colonised the domains of truth Every domain, every property of the queen
So when I say the truth won't do you no good here
You will understand the hostile environment of breathing, walking talking, dreaming against the law
At any moment they'll be coming around, coming around
At any moment they'll be coming around, coming around
Tories, the Liberals, the Conservatives, the Republicans, the Democrats
At any moment
At any moment they'll be coming around to deliver another blow, choking
Choking
Choking, choking, choking
At any moment they'll be coming around to deliver another blow, choking
Choking in the house of life and death and deeds
Choking
Choking
Choking in the house of Lords and reptiles
Choking
Choking
At any moment they'll be coming around
They'll be coming around, they'll be coming around, they'll be coming around
To deliver another blow choking, choking, choking, choking
Choking
