UB40 - Sorry

Sorry
UB40

Please don't say sorry
Presuming a respect for what you say
Then you'll understand me feeling
If in your heart you mean it
Most humbly yours, four hundred years back pay
You must prove it; sign the cheque without delay


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
Trying to erase our memory


I'm not begging charity..... Etc
If you say sorry
Can I assume you've realised the shame
The seeds of your oppression
Fall and ripen with aggression
Time to compensate us for our claims
You can't hold us any longer with your chains

Don't bother wi' delay
A four hundred years
Don't bother wi' no sorry
Is not just the other day
Don't confuse up your mind

I'm not begging charity
Payment overdue
Fe a long long time
You come a we gate

No bother hesitate
You tek away we tings
Like a damn pirate
