Heideroosjes Forgotten Continent Lyrics

Way back in time the white men came and brought them
pain
In a war for territory, the natives fought in vain
invasion by the so called civilized who brought nothing
but disgrace
The soil of our human race, is now the

Forgotten continent
Robbed, raped and spit out
Forgotten continent
Africa, we sold her out

Way back in time we took their men and made ‘m slaves
Ripped their families apart, took their traditions to
their grave
Without respect my forefathers took for their own need Sucked out their dignity and let ‘m bleed

Forgotten continent
Robbed, raped and spit out
Forgotten continent
Africa, we sold her out

Now back in school our history books they cover up and
fail
About these crimes done by the ones to which we hail
And still, now today, we benefit from unfair trade
The consequence of blind silence, we make good cheer
with aid

Forgotten continent
Robbed, raped and spit out
Forgotten continent
Africa, we sold her out
