Babylon Rule Dem (feat. Don Carlos & The Congos)

Standing so I can see them beneath the morning sky

All those who seek to climb so high

To ensure the River Jordan will not dry

All of our tears run out of the valley high

Oh a den Mesada

I fear the War's out, tell Father they've come

Oh no, tell Mother they've come too, too, too

Lord, forgive them, for they have stamped on the ocean

Lord, forgive them, who trampled by the wayside

Oh, forgive them, who stamped up on the ocean

Lord, forgive them, for all of dem, oh, they don't know

Them sit there robbing them poor

We stand upon them lies they told

Rocking the boat that they stole

Remember, Babylon rule dem

Them dread lion dread

Dem a payaka

I want to live and be so free, yeah

Oh, Lord, now if them want to live, if them want to live

Oh, now shelter we, oh, now, oh

Oh, Father, they stole, they stole

Another one, another country poor

Oh, another one, another country poor

Well, now the youth man say

Yeah, now the Covenant say

Oh, now the youth man say

Oh, now the government, oh, they don't know

Well, now, now they don't see

Jah people don't want to believe them

No more, they are deceived, yes

No more, while they sit in their delusions

Wondering how, how Babylon rule dem, rule dem

I saw them, saw them, I saw them, our masses have cried

And left them all out, and left them all out

To suffer in a this a ghetto while they trampled out

On my soul, brought to you dem leper paya, dem leper paya

Dem leper paya gone a Ethiopia

Leper paya, dem leper paya, leper paya gone to Ethiopia

Standing so I can see them beneath the morning sky

Seeking to climb the ladder so high

Oh, the mighty Jordan will not dry

While our tears fall from valley to the sky

Oh, well now, now they don't know

Them sit and punishing them poor

While all my brethren's are locked upon the floor

Give us our justice and we will seek no more

Remember, Babylon rule dem

Well them a dread lion dread

Dem leper paya

We want to live and be so free, yeah

Oh, Lord

Now if they want to live, if they want to live

Oh, now shelter we, oh

Dear Mother and Father, come look at me

Flying so peacefully, oh

Now they, now they, a

Father, come run upon the ocean

Dear Sistren, come upon the ocean

Oh, my Idren, run upon the I shed

Oh dear Sistren, come upon now

They don't know

Whoa, now, now they don't see

Jah people don't want to believe them

No more, they are deceived, yes, no more

While they sit in their illusions

Wondering how, how Babylon rule dem, rule dem
