Asian Dub Foundation Free Satpal Ram lyrics

And we say, back way to all the trouble makers
Better fix up your brains because you are the biggest fakers
Come in the place better know who you are
Self defense is no offense

The scales of justice are weighed down on one side
Freemasons on the case, you know you're gonna get a rough ride
Hold tight even if you know your rights
It's just a piece of paper unless you're prepared to fight

For ten years, one hell of a long time
To rot in a cell when you've committed no crime
Another innocent man forced to carry the can
Free Satpal Ram, free Satpal Ram
Another innocent man

Whose word against who?
Whose word against who?
The degenerate crew

Out on the town
Thought they had something to prove
Self defense, only offense
Had to protect himself from all the murdering fools

Cutting remarks on account of his race
A plate to his chest and a glass to his face
An Asian fights back, can't afford to be meek
With your back against the wall you can't turn the other cheek


And it's back way to all the trouble makers
Better fix up your brain because you're the biggest fakers
Come in the place better know who you are
Free Satpal Ram
Another innocent man

Birmingham six
Bridgewater four
Crown prosecution, totting up the score
Kings Cross two

Guildford four, Winston Silcott, man, how many more?
Satpal attacked in a restaurant by racists
Now the brother's been locked up on a life time basis
Convicted of murder but what's never mentioned
Self defense was his only intention

ADF once again taking to the stand
Witness the jailing of an innocent man
Kicking up a fuss because it could happen to us
Time to join in the fight back because enough is enough

And it's back way to all the trouble makers
Better fix up your brains because you're the biggest fakers
Come in the place better know who you are
Free Satpal Ram
