She said, “Boy answer the question” And we’ve been patiently waiting all our lives Told me to sit down and shut up all our lives
[Chorus:] And this is the uproar Uproar, uproar, This is the uproar Uproar, uproar, uproar This is the uproar Go!
For the prisoner of conscience Walking fearing where you tread Crimes against the people that the government led Amnesty now for an innocent dread (Is it) Only for the rich that the poor get bled
[Chorus]
For the mind of my sister fight the one eyed views Body of my mother torn broken and abused People in the cities and the streets beating down Color culture stand together Make this sound Make this sound So won’t you make this, make this, make this sound
Because you said, “Boy answer the question” And we’ve been patiently waiting all our lives Told me to sit down and shut up all our lives Knocking me out of my head Into my heart as it’s bled Knocking me out of my head Into the heart as it’s bled, out
Because we sing An oi oi song And a unity song [x4]
Old conflict put them to bed Real enemy please show your head Old conflict put them to bed Will the real enemy please show your head
