Another murder in London town, shots ring out on the underground (underground = subway)
And the people that did it are back at work, yeah that's the way British justice works
One year after he was killed Crown Prosecution Service will reveal that
None of the officers that killed your child will ever have to stand trial
And that's just the way it is my dear, that's just the way it is
It's just the way it is my dear, that's just the way it bloody is

22 07 05 Jean Charles De Menezes dies (English people say 'o' to mean zero in dates and numbers)
Officer Sir Ian Blair suddenly will declare
to suspend an independent police investigation,

Murdered by dum dums, they're against the law yet nothings done
Suddenly no CCTV all a bit.. of
a mystery and a second IPCC investigation (IPCC = Independent Police Complaints Commission)
When they pushed him down they held him to the ground
then they shot him 8 times........ with 7 in his head

Cover up.. because it's getting cold, cover up... and you've been told to
cover up... but the truth's out there, cover up... police don't care,

Cover up .......why did they follow him up the road?
Cover up....... let him on a bus to go?
Cover up....... let him off at Brixton Tube? (Tube = Subway. In this case subway station)
Cover up....... the police didn't have a clue.

Cover up....... let him take a second bus..
Cover up....... he got to Stockwell without a fuss.. (Stockwell is the name of the area where JCDM was killed)
Cover up .......and then they followed him down below...
Cover up....... and they blew his head off as the tube was about to roll. (Tube = subway train)

Fired seven to his head they made sure he was pretty dead and it's...
Sorry we killed your child, our mistake but they'll be no trial and it's..
Wrong time, wrong bloody place, we're sorry about that dear, that's our mistake..
Had him by the arms, yeah that boy from Brazil, he was unarmed

After the appeal was lost the website was taken down.

Sometimes some stories have to be told. Sometimes some stories have to be just kept alive. I'm so glad I made it and I'm so glad the song came out how I imagined it.
Long live Jean Charles de Menezes.

MASSIVE THANKS to Billy Playle for his bass, drums, cello, and Fred Jam for all his mastering help and enthusiasm!
