Texty: Asian Dub Foundation. Rebel Warrior.

Ami bidrohi, I the rebel warrior
I have risen alone with my head held high
I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed
No longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
No longer rings in battle, hear my war cry

I'm here to teach you a lesson
I'm here to torture your soul
I'm the itch in your side that's got out of control
'Gonna prey on your conscience

You'll be praying for forgiveness
Seen all the evidence, no longer need a witness
So take my word man, here's my sentence
One hundred thousand years of repentance

Check my anger, it's real, ain't no token
I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken
It's my burning ambition to burn down your empire
Man, I'll be building you a funeral pyre

The fire in my eyes, if looks coulda kill
I won't be satisfied until I've had my fill
Check my anger, it's real, ain't no token
I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken

Ami bidrohi, I the rebel warrior
I have risen alone with my head held high
I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed
No longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
No longer rings in battle, hear my war cry

Repetitive beats beating against your skull
I'll be striking you down to the sounds of the war drum
The doum, the doum of the dhol taking its toll
Null and void is what you've become

An underground army with my brothers and sisters
Hand to hand fighting, building up a resistance
Repetitive beats beating against your skull
Null and void is what you've become

Ami bidrohi, I the rebel warrior
I have risen alone with my head held high
I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed
No longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
No longer rings in battle, hear my war cry

I read the commitments, strange alliance
The siren and the flute in unison
'Cos it's a part of my mission to break down division
Mental compartments in political prisons

I'll be sowing the seeds of community
Accommodating every color, every need
So listen to my message and heed my warning
I'm telling you know how a new age is dawning

Ami bidrohi, I the rebel warrior
I have risen alone with my head held high
I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed
No longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
No longer rings in battle, hear my war cry

Ami bidrohi, ami bidrohi
Yes, the unity of the Hindu and the Muslim
Will end your tyranny
Ami bidrohi, ami bidrohi
