UB40 - Sorry lyrics

Please don´t say sorry
Presuming a respect for what you say
If in your heart you mean it
Then you will understand me feeling
You must prove it; sign the cheque without delay
Most humbly yours, four hundred yeahrs back pay

Chorus

I am 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 & bullshit is walking
Round in circles re-inventing history
Trying to erase our memory

Chorus

I am not begging charity..... Etc

If you say sorry
Can I assume you have realised the shame
The seeds of your oppression
Fall & ripen with aggression
You can not 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 yeahrs
Isn´t just the other day

I am 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
