Mr. president, distinguished delegates,
2
Since the beginning of modern civilization
3
Generations have witnessed and inherited the only conflicts of world wars
4
But behold the marriage supper of the lamb and the bridegroom onto his bride
5
Then shall the earth's children know the true expression of one love
6
Then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace.
7
Forever eliminating the aspirations, lust and anguish of wars and rumors of wars, Selah!
8
See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors
9
And propaganda spreading inna the Sunday papers
10
not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause
11
Red-a judgement a blaze, blaze ya
12
And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse
13
And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors
14
And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed 'cause
15
Inna dem churches tryin' to save, saviors
16
Can we do it? we can do it, we shall do it!
17
Boom! Tell dem fe uh draw mi out when the world government inna falling out
18
Only few men survive crawling out
19
Run left him colleagues dem sprawling out, nearly dead!
20
Medic haffi haul him out
21
And give him two tranquilizer fi stall him out, deh pon base!
22
Can't get no calling out when him hear from the shout last week
23
Him mistress find a new shoes
24
Wife can't get no news and lately she starting to doubt, she still searching!
25
And the youth dem bawling out
26
Working hard not to let it all come out
27
Well it's not safe to go walk about
28
A slaughterhouse from Baghdad to water house
29
She start to arouse sometime she want a spouse
30
She start go out, start beat a darker stout, guns come out!
31
Working people funds run out
32
Keep a show last week and no one come out, bombs come out!
33
Mi gas tank just run out, bombo clatt!
34
The scotch tape just run out, weed run out!
35
Yuh senses must dumb out, mi have a pound round a back deh a gwan sun out
36
Nah come out! 'Til the chalice bun out,
37
Nah come out! 'Til the malice bun out, a war!
38
Zimbabwe to berlin wall
39
Blazin' like a burnin' ball, loose ball, dat no work, in war
40
Sleeping, dat no work..in war
41
Can't wear jheri curl, in war
42
No diamond and pearl, in war
43
Can't drink weh a serve, in bar
44
Gas wi fuck up yuh nerves, in war
45
Shot wi blood up yuh shirt, in war
46
Can't go lift up no skirt, in war
47
Now disease and germs, in war
48
Can't go release your sperms, in war
49
Stamina must preserve, in war
50
Fire constantly burn, in war
51
Red, it red, it red, it red, it red!
52
If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it, then you will die.
53
You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles, you race of good for nothings
54
If you cannot do what other men have done
55
What other nations have done, what other races have done
56
Then you yourself shall die.
57
See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors
58
And propaganda spreading inna the Sunday papers
59
not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause
60
Red-a judgement a blaze, blaze ya
61
And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse
62
And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors
63
And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed 'cause
64
Inna dem churches tryin' to save, saviors
65
Hey, now wi fore parents sacrifice enough
66
Dem blood sweat and tears run like syrup
67
Any day a revolution might erupt, and the sky's over Kingston lighting up
68
For the new generation rising up, of youths now a days weh dem sighting up
69
And through reasoning dem biding up,
70
Searching for the sign and the sign is us,
71
Searching for the truth all you find is us,
72
Searching for the troops still behind is us,
73
The almighty we recruit and we come from the root
74
We build like roach building boot
75
Weh just can't done, Rastafari' design me tuff
76
If a the fight for freedom sign me up
77
Cause you tell-lie-vision can't blind me up
78
Soldiers and police dem wising up, realizing they're no more right than us
79
Realizing there's no use fighting us
80
Realizing their opening their eyes to see the same demoralizing life as us
81
So we nah tek talk nor smiling up
82
Cause the word temper tantrum boiling up,
83
And who alling the shots and nah bust none
84
Controlling the mind of the young, bring down
85
Bear famine, no rain nah fall from London to Dadeland mall
86
All the son of the virgin bawl, institute of the church in war
87
Preaching and researching war
88
Practice and rehearsing war
89
Teaching and dem learning war
90
Instigating and urging war
91
Always keep alert in war
92
Cause man will jump out a swerving car
93
Now bees and birds in war
94
And the freaks and nerds in war
95
And the straight and curves in war
96
Forward and reverse in war
97
Red, it red, it red, it red, it red
98
If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it, then you will die.
99
You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles, you race of good for nothings
100
If you cannot do what other men have done
101
What other nations have done, what other races have done
102
Then you yourself shall die.
