When in office Badenoch attempted to block Arts Council money they were awarded but they won the court case and donated their money to youth projects in both Republican and Loyalist areas of Belfast. As an Irishman and Gael from the occupied North, I'm proud of these lads. It means a lot to have ambassadors like them gaining worldwide attention after long years of the likes of muppets like Bono and Conor McGregor tarnishing this country's image.
This is the only version of the translated lyrics I could find but it's not a great translation (Eg. 'Imithe le fada' is 'Long gone' not 'Disappear forever'.)...
Verse 1
I feel blessed
With the fall of your wreck
With the backstreet crew
I’m going to resolve this
The government now in bits
Kneecap gave them a frisk
As you’d say
But we know they’ve got more than this
Grab a handful and we’ll stroll to the bank
Get me Kemi's money and give her my thanks,
We'll call it reparations Badenoch ya w*nk,
Tried to take my money but I came and collected it back
Chorus
Na na na
Disappear forever
It’s Kneecap the Recap
West Belfast
Na na na
Disappear forever you Tories
Say DJ Próvaí Móglaí Bap and Mo Chara
Na na na
Go away
It’s Kneecap the Recap
West Belfast
Na na na
Disappear forever you Tories
Say DJ Próvaí Móglaí Bap and Mo Chara
Verse 2
Kemi ya wally
The writings on the walls
You like to think that you’re fooling everybody
But you’re not,
Just like the iron lady
Your career is gonna rot
You’re just sh*t
Not in control
Kneecap back now
To put things right
Here and in the fight
We are sick of your sh*t
Kemi ya wally,
Maggie is still sleeping in her box
You don’t care about which race
You just care about gimme that
You’re so full of sh*t
You with your leadership
Bridge
Go for a crack
Some fellas from the lower whack
When they see me
Their hands go in their pockets
Who’s shouting yeah
Cos I’m here to stroke ya
I like those shoes
Worth a few notes
Seems they suit me
I’ll take them home lad
You backing up Badenoch
Trying to __ me
Had enough Badenoch
You thought it’s momentary
Called your bluff Badenoch
Belfast will you say
F*ck Badenoch
Chorus
Outro
Good effort, Kemi
Hard lines in the elections
Onwards and upwards
Free Palestine
Re: Kneecap release new tune giving the middle finger to Kemi Badenoch
Thanks for the translation; the more they try to squash them, the more I like them.
K's suggestion of letting the IDF scum bacck in the charging them with war crimes is good; nothing's going to happen though, sadly. They might get killed though The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
Let them in, arrest them and prosecute them for committing crimes against peace, crimes against humanity and war crimes.The last working-class hero in England. Clio the cat, ?
