UB40 performs "King," a song that asks "where are your people now?" while describing a people shamed, chained, and dying for a promised land. The lyrics contrast ideals of unity with the reality of oppression and pacification.
Ki, where are your people now? Shamed and pacified, trying in vain to show them love. And for that you died. You had a dream of a promised land, people of all nations walking hand in hand. They're not ready to accept that dream situation. Hey, King, where are your people now? Chinan pacify. China made to show them out, and for that she died. Kiim, where are your people now? Chained and pacified. Ki, where are your people now? Chin and pacify. Try, try, invent to show them now. And for that you die. Thank you.
