Macka B - Invasion lyrics

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? 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 cla** citizens in Africa They made us second cla** 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? 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 k**ed 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 k**s 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 ... If it wasn't for us the you'd be running around Without any clothes on
