Robert Bassey

They took
his life in their hands
With a fucking great knife they cut him down
Tied him up, kicked him around
Put a weight to his feet and left him to drown
People watched by, they let him die
With blood clouded water, yet they still lied
Police investigations, they don't wanna know
Let 'em murder anyone, but don't get involved

(Chorus)
Robert Bassey you died in vain
You're just a memory of yesterday
Never to walk on earth again
And they let the scum get away

Accidental death is what they say
Race relations let them get away
Hide the truth and tell you lies
You know that scum, they took his life

British Movement tattooed on his neck
They say he was drunk when he hit the deck
Fell to his death, nothing we can do
That's a load of bollox, you know the real truth

No outcry just like before
Remember Geordie you know the score
The media have no tears to cry
Get their stories and let him die
Covered up murder, every little bit
All you slags make me fuckin' sick!

They let 'em off!
They all walked free!
Left to murder
You and me!
