Now tell me something,
mister government man,
tell me something:
How long do you really feel
you could have kept us under heel,
when the truth has been revealed
about how you grab and steal,
about how you make your crooked deal

well, down in Southall, where Peach fell,
the Asians formed up a human wall
against the fascists and the police shields,
and they showed that the Asians had got plenty of zeal.

It is no mystery,
we're making history.
It is no mystery,
we're winning a victory.

Now tell me something,
mister police spokesman,
tell me something:

we would have taken your baton licks
your jackboot kicks,
your dirty bags of tricks
and your racist politics,

well down in Bristol,
they had no pistol,
but they chased the babylon away,
man, you should have seen your babylon,
how they really ran away

they dug-up that day.

It is no mystery,
we're making history.
It is no mystery,
we're winning a victory.

Well, tell me something,
mister right-wing man,
tell me something:
How long do you really feel
we would have grovelled and squealed,
when so much murder is concealed,
when our wounds can't heal,
when we feel the way we feel.

well, there was Toxteth,
and there was Moss Side,
And a lot of other places
where the police had to hide.
well. there was Brixton,
and there was Chapeltown,
and a lot of other places
that were burned to the ground.

It is no mystery,
we're making history.
It is no mystery,
we're winning a victory.
