Do U Remember ? Songtext
von Brain Damage meets Vibronics

World War One
World War Two
Do you remember those African soldiers
Fighting for your freedom
And me say why, why oh why
But me say why, why oh why
You never mention those African soldiers
Fighting for your glory

And me say one, World War One
And me say two, World War Two
Do you remember those African soldiers
Who died for your freedom
And me say why, why oh why
But me say why, why oh why
You never mention those African soldiers
Who died for your freedom


When you pick up the board, and soldiers, you no name dem at all
Me check out your walls and monuments, me no see dem at all
Memorial days a come and you no call dem at all
Me check out your books of history, we no see dem at all
It is a shame, you no remember dem
Dem have give up dem youths and dem life
Just for your freedom

I come to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
Then dance and skank to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
Then African dance and skank to call out their names
And put a little light on dem
Oh, Lord a mercy
And put a little light pon dem

And me say one, World War One
And me say two, World War Two
Do you remember those African soldiers
Who died for your freedom
And me say why, why oh why
But me say why, why oh why
You never mention those African soldiers
Who died for your freedom


Bayonets fixed, B Company, fire
African soldiers on the wire
They were Senegalese, Moroccan, or Algerian
They were young, beautiful, and full of strength
They were lions treading on the battlefield
Now they′re lying in complete oblivion
Do you ever, ever remember dem?
Then dance and skank to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
And put a little light pon dem
