Lyrics

I want you to know, I want to tell you
I want you to know, I want to tell you
I want you to know
It's a trick, a trick
When to be in their society
You have to shun your dignity
It's a trick, a trick
When to be accepted by them
Your true self must be forgotten
It's a trick, a trick
We have been tricked
All along this road
Giving much, much more
Than we could afford
So get what everyone for yourself
And let us expose and remove the fake
'Cause it's a trick, a trick
When to be in their society
You have to shun your dignity
It's a trick, a trick
When to be accepted by them
Your true self must be forgotten
We got to stop it, stop being a wally
We got to smoke it, don't you dare buy it
'Cause it's a trick, a trick
When to be in their society
You have to shun your dignity
It's a trick, a trick
When to be accepted by them
Your true self must be forgotten
It's a trick, damn trick
A man should respect his ancestors' precious past
And keep it always, no matter the past
I said make your motto be your cultural preservation
And keep your will always, your identification
'Cause it's a trick, a trick
When to be in their society
You have to shun your dignity
It's a trick, a trick
When to be accepted by them
Your true self must be forgotten
We got to stop it, stop being a wally
We have to smoke it, don't you dare buy it
'Cause it's a trick, a trick
When to be in their society
You have to shun your dignity
It's a trick, a trick
When to be accepted by them
Your true self must be forgotten
It's a trick, a trick
When with heathens you have to integrate
Instead of repatriate
It's a trick, a trick
When to have freedom
You must forget your own customs
It's a trick, a trick
Damn trick, it's a trick
