<b>Forgotten continent</b> by <i>De Heideroosjes</i><br />Way back in time the white men came and brought them pain

In a war for territory, the natives fought in vain

invasion by the so called civilized who brought nothing but disgrace

The soil of our human race, is now the

Forgotten continent

Robbed, raped and spit out

Forgotten continent

Africa, we sold her out

Way back in time we took their men and made ‘m slaves

Ripped their families apart, took their traditions to their grave

Without respect my forefathers took for their own need

Sucked out their dignity and let ‘m bleed

Forgotten continent

Robbed, raped and spit out

Forgotten continent

Africa, we sold her out

Now back in school our history books they cover up and fail

About these crimes done by the ones to which we hail

And still, now today, we benefit from unfair trade

The consequence of blind silence, we make good cheer with aid

Forgotten continent

Robbed, raped and spit out

Forgotten continent

Africa, we sold her out
