Select language to translate this lyric

Now tell me something
mister government man
tell me something
How long do you really feel
you could keep us under heel
when the truth is revealed
about how you grabbed and stole
about how you made your crooked deal
Well down in soutall
where peach did get fall
the asians firmed-up a human wall
against the fascists and their police friends
and they showed that the Asians have a lot of zeal
It is not a mystery
we are making history
it is not a mystery
we are winning victri
Now tell me something
mistah police spokesman
tell me something
How long do you really think
we woulda taken your baton lick
you jackboot kick< br/>your dutty bag of tricks
and your racist pallyticks
Well down in bristal
they add no pistols
but they chase the babylan away
man you shoulda seen your babyland
how they really ran away
you should have seen your babyland dig-up that day
It's not a mystery
we're making history
it's not a mystery< br/>your winning victory
Now tell me something
mistah ritewing man
tell me something
How long do you really feel
we woulda grovel an squeal
when so much murdah canceled
when our wounds were healed
when we felt the way we felt
Well there was toxteth
and there was moss side
an a lat a there are places
whey the police added to hide
well there was brixtan
and there was chapeltoun
and a lat of addah place that was burnt to the ground
It is no mystery
we making history
it is no mystery
we winning victory
