[Intro – announcer voice]

Their new life had really begun. The government's attitude on the matter will remain liberal and humane... Liberal and humane...

[Verse 1]

Came in peace by the boatload

Said the road was glittered with gold

How did that story unfold?

We work hard 'til we're grey and old

Now you wanna kick us out the back door

And rub salt in the wounds? That's poor

Debate in Parliament

Broken promises

Never shows love, that's for sure

[Chorus]

The Windrush

Make the government blush

We refuse to just hush

The Windrush

There's no government trust

Politics – them against us

The Windrush

Your words fall on deaf ears

Actions are overly sus'

The Windrush

We have to be tough

And keep unity between us

[Bridge – Amber Rudd samples]

Respect

Respect

Respect

Respect

Respect

There is absolutely no question about their right to remain

And I'm sorry for any confusion

Respect

[Verse 2]

You invited us in the first place

The Windrush leaves a bad taste

Your behaviour is a disgrace

Families you want to displace

Racism's all in our face

We work hard without a moment's grace

From 1948

'Til this day

Policies tried to limit our space

[Chorus]

The Windrush

Make the government blush

We refuse to just hush

The Windrush

There's no government trust

Politics – them against us

The Windrush

Your words fall on deaf ears

Actions are overly sus'

The Windrush

We have to be tough

And keep unity between us

The Windrush

Make the government blush

We refuse to just hush

The Windrush

There's no government trust

Politics – them against us

The Windrush

Your words fall on deaf ears

Actions are overly sus'

The Windrush

We have to be tough

And keep unity between us

And keep unity between us
