Lyrics: Angelic Upstarts. Angel Dust. I Understand.


Nineteen years old
What an age to die
Ashford is a prison
where they hide or die

Richard Campbell
Were you mad?
Or just a bit insane?

Was it being a Rasta
cause you so much pain

white nigger
black nigger

Bleed the same

white nigger
black nigger

Rasta boy in prison

white nigger
black nigger

they made sure,
He'd never
see his twentieth year

when you're a number
you're never a name

they took away his faith
..a candle
..without a flame

the law of animals
destroy what you don't understand
