Story of Century

Story of Century Of how our fathers lived in penury And the powers promoted prejudice They came with promises of paradise They turned themselves into merchandise Selling our own like stacks of rice Wives and daughters raped to coma While the men kept in chains by the corner It was a sad story of the centuries Our hearts still bleed from the injury The chains caged our warrior's fury And the jail sentence by the crook jury Killed, butchered and never sorry Tied in chains and piled in lorry Ferried away to the land filled with gory This is our story Story of the century
