The mp3 of this song can be downloaded HERE.I shot Menezes but I did not pay no penalty, oh no-oh I shot Menezes when we mistook his identity, ooh, ooh-ooh All around in London town We tirelessly tracked him down We wanted to put him in a body bag For looking a bit too foreign For looking a bit too foreign, so I say I shot Menezes in the name of National Defence, ooh, ooh-ooh I shot Menezes and they say that I committed no offence, ooh, ooh-ooh Sheriff Ian Blair has defended me For dealing the killer blow Every time that I ask for instructions He say, “Kill him before he explodes” “Cos you never know what's underneath his clothes”, and so, and so Read it on the Tube I shot Menezes but in order to be certain he was dead, ooh, ooh-ooh I shot Menezes, once in the shoulder then seven times in the head, ooooh Freedom came my way one day Thanks to IPC and the Crown, yeah All of a sudden I'm back on gun patrol So be careful in London Town Especially if your skin's too brown, so I say We found him guilty on the day I shot Menezes but I did not shoot him recklessly, oh no-oh I shot Menezes when he brought out the Wild West in me, ooh, ooh-ooh Operation Kratos got the better of him We had to do him in, yeah On the day he went down to Stockwell I put that electrician's lights out That's one less Brazilian to worry about, I say I, I, I shot Menezes, but in the War on Terror that's OK I, I shot Menezes, and I might be shooting you one day
