I cannot breathe please step off of my chest Loosen the noose tightening round my neck I wish for freedom and to sing my song We're prisoners on the very land we're from BALDHEAD! You're so well fed on my destruction Fetishize Our women, silence our children Plunder my motherland, pollute the sea But still I survive though you clip my wings BALDHEAD! You tricked us with your treaty BALDHEAD! Your king sits high on his throne He listens To his people, not to my own Framed as a savage I'm burned at the stake A woman's a witch, yes, it's her that you hate How dare you Put shame upon my skin You are a cannibal, you brought the plague Curse us with churches and teach us your ways BALDHEAD! You made your bed Ka whawhai tonu maatou, ake ake Ka whawhai tonu maatou, ake ake
