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, [][]ill him before he explodes[][][][]os 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
