Another old colonial comes with a hard luck story "We had a big plantation We had servants A smashing view of the jungle These things belonged to us But we had to leave The beautiful country that we owned It's so disgraceful An affront to our dignity! "The natives weren't so bad Sometimes you had to beat them a bit Sometimes they'd get lazy Sometimes they got ideas But we had a boy in the kitchen By God, I swear he was almost like A member of the family Those were the days..." You might see them on the streetcar You might meet them in the store They might stumble on a piece of jewelry Or hear Miriam Makeba on the radio Then their eyes get misty and they reminisce "I wouldn't go there now Look at the way they run themselves I say it goes to show We were right all along These are such hard times And I miss my life of privelege We had servants..." Oh you poor suffering creature Don't bend my ear again You spend your old age whining 'Cause you did not get the warning Don't complain to me You're lucky to be alive You're goddamn lucky you got your ignorant white ass out in time! Revolution is not pretty Sometimes it's not even beautiful It's not even always just When it's just too late
