saw something in the paper just the other day,

it was all about a band and the music that they play

black 47 advocates violence,

musical guerillas in their terrorist alliance

my anger subsided when i realised the source

an english rag and i said "oh, of course"

it didn't shock me, cos my history

tells me eight centuries of this, see...

anytime anyone upsets the status quo

you're stabbed in the back by the so-called liberal whores

i know this much, this much i know...

people are dying... it's time to go.

it's time to go. they tell me i don't understand cos i'm american

but unlike them, i've been to northern ireland

needless to say, i was not impressed,

to tell you the truth, it left me feeling real depressed.

soldiers with guns all over the place

aiming them right at my little kid's face

an innocent child, two years of age,

don't ask me as to the reason for my rage

they just don't care about over there

when i say something they cry "no fair"

i know this much, this much i know

people are dying... it's time to go.

it's time to go. i support one thing, that one thing is peace

peace with justice and the troubles will cease

british rule totally *** up the place

treats us like we're an inferior race

pat and mike jokes on the bbc

face it, you're racist, all you're missing are the white sheets.

you keep on lying, i won't stop trying

i won't step off til my people stop dying

whether or not you choose to agree

i guess that's why you're called the nme...

i know this much, this much i know

people are dying... it's time to go.

it's time to go. get the *** out!
