You over-run my country, with your blood and steel
Never thought to ask us, how it made us feel
Cutting down our people, we never had no hope
We stood against your bullets, but we could never cope
Chorus:
You can't understand and you won't understand our land
I said you can't understand and you won't understand our land
You tried to take our manhood, you tried to steal our pride
You made our people suffer, you took us for a ride
We got ourselves a union, to try to air our voice
When it started speaking, you smashed it like a toy
