Lyrics
0:19Please don't say sorry
0:23Presuming a respect for what you say
0:28If in your heart you mean it
0:33Then you'll understand me feeling
0:36You must prove it; sign the cheque without delay
0:41Most humbly yours, four hundred years back pay
0:46I'm not begging charity
0:48Don't confuse the things i say
0:50Give me what belongs to me
0:52Give me what belongs to me
1:04Just don't say sorry
1:09As if that can excuse this tyranny
1:13No value in your talking
1:18Money speaks and bullshit's walking
1:21Round in circles re-inventing history
1:26Trying to erase our memory
1:31I`m not begging .....etc
1:32If you say sorry
1:33Can i assume you've realised the shame
1:35The seeds of your oppression
1:36Fall and ripen with aggression
1:50You can't hold us any longer with your chains
1:55Time to compensate us for our claims
1:59Don't bother wi' no sorry
2:00Don't bother wi' delay
2:01A four hundred years
2:02Is not just the other day
2:06I'm not begging charity
2:07Don't confuse up your mind
2:09Payment overdue
2:09Fe a long long time
2:11You come a we gate
2:12No bother hesitate
2:13You tek away we tings
2:18Like a damn pirate
Please don't say sorry Presuming a respect for what you say If in your heart you mean it Then you'll understand me feeling You must prove it; sign the cheque without delay Most humbly yours, four hundred years back pay I'm not begging charity Don't confuse the things i say Give me what belongs to me Give me what belongs to me Just don't say sorry As if that can excuse this tyranny No value in your talking Money speaks and bullshit's walking Round in circles re-inventing history Trying to erase our memory I`m not begging .....etc If you say sorry Can i assume you've realised the shame The seeds of your oppression Fall and ripen with aggression You can't hold us any longer with your chains Time to compensate us for our claims Don't bother wi' no sorry Don't bother wi' delay A four hundred years Is not just the other day I'm not begging charity Don't confuse up your mind Payment overdue Fe a long long time You come a we gate No bother hesitate You tek away we tings Like a damn pirate
