1900 and the battle for South Africa
The British needed a plan so turned to Lord Kitchener.
âScorch the earth!â he cried so they burnt the crops and cattle
To force the Boers to come out and face them in a battle.
As usual this British plan was pretty short sighted
Women left to starve, while the men went into hiding.
All those who were left to rot across the land,
Were rounded up by British troops and put into camps.
Are you concentrating? And listening?
Is this internment, and are you starving?
Because moving people and imprisoning,
Is just what we do, itâs our policy to win.
Because weâre the British Empire donât ya know?
We put the âCâ in Colonial.
Weâll take you land and your freedom.
We had death camps before anyone.
26,000 died in internment.
From a lack of sanitation and under-nourishment.
And when theyâre let out donât forget theyâve nothing left.
But they can deal with it as itâs their own bloody mess.
