lyrics

Human rights violation Uganda’s own sensational tabloid called the Rolling Stone
It makes The Daily Mail read like The Guardian, homophobic hate is back in style again
assuming role of “Dr Joseph Goebbels” Muhame’s witch hunt has now gone global
mutual neglect by police as violent assaults on LGBT increase

This Blood don’t wash - Cold Blooded Murder

Publishing photos on the front page inciting the public to act out their rage
Media mob rule is what it condoned making the streets of Kampala a no go zone
Not reporting homosexuals a punishable crime echoing Germany 1939
It lowers the bench mark on the global stage of human rights in this day and age

David Bahati writes the kill the gays bill social pariahs to imprison and kill
Kadaga’s xmas gift blessed by the Pope sending complicit hatred down a slippery slope
Us evangelists fanning the flames using the religious veil to justify blame
one man made a stand against the odds, a fearless voice despite the baying mob

on the 26th of January 2011
just 3 weeks after the court injunction against the Ugandan Rolling Stone
witnesses spotted 3 men in a vehicle parked outside of his home
what was to transpire was the brutal bludgeoning to death of David Kato with a hammer

they smashed his skull in with a fuckin hammer - You murdering fucking bastards
Bahati, Kadaga, Muhame, Lively, Coen your conscience is stained with fucking blood

David Kato - Murder
David Kato - Murder
David Kato - Murder
David Kato - Murder

Ugandan speaking translates to:
“Gay people are Ugandans too and Ugandan people are the Government, so the government must respect us” “Gays are people too!”
