Debris Lyrics - Singles - Asian Dub Foundation

Spread power with words 

The gold that you stole 

The pillage and the plunder 

Is it any wonder that we're here? 

It ain't no mystery 

The fighting and the shooting 

That's the real history 

We're only here 'cos you were there 

Consequences of your global pillage 

I never had the feeling to either destroy or conquer 

I sift to the debris you left in your wake 

When you pushed us in to third place 

When the truth is uncovered and the story's been told 

You won't be able to look me in the face 

We're only here 'cos you were there 

Here in england a global village 

Consequences of your global pillage 

Master D chat it up 

I sift to the debris you left in your wake 

When you pushed us in to third place 

When the truth is uncovered and the story's been told 

You won't be able to look me in the face 

You treated my mother's land 

Just like one big plantation 

You did this to the African 

You did this to the Asian 

Famine was caused not by God but taxation 

The fruits of our labor were used to build your nation 

Sucking us dry 

Our country's natural juice 

Yes, our underdevelopment was caused by your abuse 

Gonna check the missing pages 

We'll be adding up the numbers 

We'll be looking for witnesses so they can tell our brothers 

We'll be using the technology 

Jammin' with it consciously 

We are gonna spread power with words
