Life During Exodus

Exodus, movement of Jah people

Exodus, movement of Jah people

Heard of a van that's loaded with weapons

Packed up and ready to go

Heard of some grave sites out by the highway

A place where nobody knows

The sound of gunfire off in the distance

I'm getting used to it now

Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto

I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco

This ain't no fooling around

No time for dancing or lovey-dovey

I ain't got time for that now

Open your eyes and look within

Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

We know where we're going

And we know where we're from

We're leaving Babylon

And we're going to our Father's land

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?

Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?

You oughta know not to stand by the window

Someone might see you up there

I got some groceries, some peanut butter

To last a couple of days

But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones

Ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?

Gonna be different this time

Can't write a letter, can't write a postcard

I ain't got no time for that now

Exodus, movement of Jah people

Exodus, movement of Jah people

City of tiny lights

Don't you wanna go?

Hear those tiny auto horns

When they tiny blow

Tiny lightning

In the storm

Tiny, tiny blankets

Gonna keep you warm

Tiny, tiny pillows

Tiny, tiny sheets

Talking 'bout those tiny cookies

That the people eat

Oh, the city of tiny lights

Maybe you should know

That it's over there

It's over there

It's over there

It's over there

In the tiny dirt, somewhere

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco

This ain't no fooling around

No time for dancing or lovey-dovey

I ain't got time for that now

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco

This ain't no fooling around

This ain't no Mudd Club or CBGB

I ain't got time for that now

Exodus, movement of Jah people

Exodus, movement of Jah people
