lyrics

Celebrations of a law, that did not change that much at all. Remembering moral’victories, but still no one can say they're - sorry.

When was sorry needed more, than for centuries of slavery. Savage exploitation, an animal’s greed, our money-happiness has made you bleed.

You and me we’ve all got blood, blood on these white hands of ours. Blood that goes back centuries, centuries of red-stained tears.

But now we’re happy, now you’re free with curable disease and HIV. Now we’re equal, we don’t feel guilty, now you can work as a commodity. In sweatshop labour, you'll bear the cost, love thy neighbour, you fear the most. Now we wear that white band round our wrist as if there's not much more to this?

Tears of pain and tears of fear, fear tomorrow is not near. So near to life, so near to death, the death of millions every year.
