[Verse 1]
I said I'm livin’ in the shadows of a [?]
And there's a [Belgian?] sellin' radios to pay a-much rent
Promised integration from the land of cancelled government
[?] ’cause the money's been spent, she said
[Chorus 1]
Oh, what happened to you?
What is the matter with me?
What became of the people we were?
Are we so blind that we cannot see?
[Verse 2]
She said, I've got to, I want to, I need the restitution
That was promised to me children when I came to this place
Bite and I strike and I, I get a reason
Why the government won't treat me like the rest of their race, she said
[Chorus 2]
Oh, what happened to you?
'Cause all the fight is gone out of me
What became of the people we were?
Where are the people that we want to be?
Where are they?
[Verse 3]
I said I'm livin' in a basement that was built when that was not amused
Look at the acceptance on her smiling face
Call us in the morning while we [?]
There's a chance that social service will review your case, she said
[Chorus 3]
Oh, what happened to you?
’Cause all the fight has gone out of me
What became of the people we were?
Are we so blind that we cannot see?
[Verse 2]
She said I’ve got to, I want to, I need the restitution
That were promised to me children when I came to this place
Bite and I strike and I'll, I’ll get a reason
Why the government won't treat me like the rest of their race, she said
[Chorus 4]
Oh, what happened to you?
What is the matter with me?
What became of the people we were?
Where are the people that we want to be?
Where are they?
[Trumpet and Saxophone Solo]
[Outro]
She said I've got to, I want to, I need the restitution
Said I've got to, I want to, I need the restitution
Said I’ve got to, I want to, I need the restitution
Said I've got to, I want to, I need the restitution
Said I've got to, I want to, I need the restitution
Said I've got to, I want to, I need the restitution
Said I've got to, I want to, I need the restitution
That was promised to my children when I come to this place
