Sinead O'Connor Black Boys On Mopeds Lyrics

margret thatcher on t.v.
 shocked by the deaths that took place in bejing
 it seems strange that she should be offended
 the same orders are given by her

 I've said this before now
 you said I was childish + you'll say it now
 "remember what I told you
 if they hated me they will hate you"

 england's not the mythical land of madame george + roses
 it's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
 and I love my boy + that's why I'm leaving
 I don't want him to be aware that there's
 any such thing as grieving

 young mother down at smithfield
 5 am looking for food for her kids
 in her arms
and the first word that they learned was "please"

 these are dangerous days
 to say what you feel is to dig your own grave
 "remember what I told you
 if you were of the world they would love you"

 england's not the mythical land of madame george + roses
 it's the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds
 and I love my boy + that's why I'm leaving
 I don't want him to be aware that there's
 any such thing as grieving.
