Forces Of Oppression Lyrics

Pop Group Forces Of Oppression

Training for us, it's good training for usagainst the
forces of oppression.
Riots in the Grove, road blocks in Brixton,
vigilantes in St. Paul's, Handsworth and all.
And they come with lead in their batons, pretending,
defending the National Front.

With their symbol of hate right in our face.
Paramilitary exercises in the ghetto....
the rich get richer, and the poor will die.
TAPE: '...and I do know of people from the underground
who constantly carried weapons, and I could not avoid the
impression that to them, they were a boost to their
masculinity. The weapons multiplied their virility....'
The armed wing is Column 88, Column 88, the return of the
Panthers, Column 88...
It's good training for us against the forces of
oppression.
Self-defence is no offence.
