Текст, перевод и аккорды “Free Satpal Ram”
The scales of justice Weighed down on one side Freemassons on the case You know you're gonna get a rough ride Hold tight, even if you know your rights It's just a piece of paper unless you're prepared to fight For ten years, one hell of a long time to rot in a cell When you've committed no crime Another innocent man forced to carry the can Free Satpal Ram! Whose word against who? The degenerate crew out on the town Thought they had something to prove Self defence is no offence Had to protect himself from the murderous fools Cutting remarks on account of his race A plate to the chest and a glass in his face An Asian fights back Can't afford to be meek With your back against the wall You can't turn the other cheek. Back away all you trouble makers Fix up your brains 'cos you're the biggest fakers You come in the place Do you know who you are? Free Satpal Ram! Satpal Ram has been in prison for 10 years now, unjustly convicted of murder. He was attacked in a restaurant in Birmingham by six racists. Having been glassed in the face he had no choice but to def end himself. One of the attackers got injured and later died after refusing treatment. Satpal was subsequently charged with murder. Satpal was provided with lawyers who refused to argue his case. They made him change his plea of self-defence to that of manslaughter. Most of the prosecution evidence came from the group that attack ed Satpal. The all-white jury missed vital evidence because no interpreter was provided. The judge said he would interpret but couldn't speak a word of Bengali. The jury weren't asked to consider if Satpal's actions were in self-defence and found him guilty. It's taken ten years to get the Criminal Justice System to allow any appeal. Enough is Enough!
