Babylon feel no way while I tell you of a story
But its a serious accusation of how you treat my daddy
I lay there in my bed didn't know that I was dreaming
But it gave me cause to think cause I ended up screaming

CHORUS
My daddy was no murderer
Seh papa was no murderer

Fire fire fire
Fire fire fire
There's a fire burning in a babylon
So get your bucket and your water from the well
Well, well, well, well
This is the land of milk and honey
This is the land where we need no money
We don't fuss and fight
We just socialize
And we

Out of Africa they took us
And they sold us as slaves for money
Who they could not sell
Dem kill dem, kill dem, kill dem

Now these things are changing
Black people killing black people
Some a dem a use guns
Some a dem a use knifes
But most of all the rest a dem

He is coming
He is coming
There was a general
General Amin
This man is on the scene
And he's killing
The black brothers and sisters
One by one
Two by two
And three by three
This man is killing them
This man is dread
He's dreader than dread

Th

If your African
Rejoice
If your Indian
Rejoice
For we are free
To worship openly

If a man should say
What your talking is no good
Then just turn to him and make it understood
That every man is free
To choose and to share
Share his own destiny

S

There will be wars and rumours of war,
In this dread, dread, dread, dreadful land
There will be people killing people
There will be famine, famine, famine and starvation...

You better hear me when I say
Brethren watch and pray
Because that day
Is not so far away fro

Run run run
Babylon dem a come
Run run run
Babylon dem a come

Cause Im a righteous rastaman
I cant stop to fight against the babylon
Cause if I stop I shall kill the babylon
So run yeah run

We the black generation
We can have no peace in this land
The

Im a wanted man
Running away from the policeman
Them want fe charge I
For smoking ganja

I see them coming
Some are coming with their guns
Some are coming with their batons
Some are riding on horses
Some are coming with their dogs
Just fe catch I
Oh oh ju

Woke up this morning yawned and scratched my skin
Think to myself now, what would this day bring?

Day after day spent walking the town
I play the fool then I act the clown
But is it my fault that Im unqualified
Clear from JA in Britain to reside
As an unemployed member
