State sanctioned inaction
State sanctioned murder
State sanctioned inaction
State sanctioned murder
State sanctioned inaction
State sanctioned murder
State sanctioned inaction
State sanctioned murder

To serve the interests of the bourgeoisie
Feeding the profits of the corporate state
To those in office with flames of the cross
To those in forces with flames on their crosses
Built on greed, theft, and genocide
Build on the foundations of looting and slavery
To extinguish the culture and murder the diaspora
To extinguish the culture and murder the diaspora

We sing their names so we don't forget
We feel their memories coursing through our chests
Disguise the anguish behind the badge and a gun
Impune the murderer state sanctioned killing unsummed
Once stared into death row now see the faces of innocence
The faces of the fractured and fractious now seem less villainous
Underneath the mask we see their uniform
Take off the mask and see their uniform

Homicide
We scream Cris Kaba, Mark Duggan, Jean Charles
Homicide
New Cross, Dea-John, Stephen Lawrence, Mr Taylor
Homicide
This’ for Smiley, Oluwale, Delain, Anthony
Homicide
Sean Rigg, Rashan Charles, Darren Cumberbatch
State sanctioned homicide
