Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Spit fire like dragon

Thinking them can escape

The works of William Gordon

De fire as Judas come

Thinking them can ride on

The words of Marcus Garvey

And they were filling up our heads

With visions

While it's our souls, on which they bargain

Live as they all live, blind as they are blind

They'll never know that

And for this here price

Woah, we shall give our lives, to them

Now did ya, did ya see them riding to the wall

And so long to call out to the one

Son, I'm here for you, retract into the land

When they were all standing at the foot of the mountain

[Verse 2]

As we tried to warn them oh jah jah we warn them

The man come, their silver tongue show

Yes I know we chant them oh rasta, we chant them

Still they come, their silver tongue show

Good man say, you're just a string in a puppet show

[Verse 3]

Spit fire like dragon

Thinking them can escape

The works of Mohandas Gandhi

Dem fire as Judas come

Thinking them can ride on

The words of Bantu Biko

Man they we filling up our heads

With visions

While it's our souls, on which they bargain

Oh the crisis de man light, fittest de man fight

We'll never know that

And for this here price

We shall give our lives, to them

Now did ya, did ya see them riding to the wall

Conquered us so long they hold their head up high

As they pray on the poor and juvenile

When they were all standing at the foot of the mountain

[Verse 4]

As we tried to warn them oh jah jah we warn them

The man come, their silver tongue show

Yes I know we chant them oh rasta, we chant them

Still they come, their silver tongue show

Massah say chant them down, chant them down

We'll never know

[Verse 5]

Yes I know we warn them,

Oh yes we warn them

Oh them come, their silver tongue show

Man we chant them

Hold on we chant them

Oh them come, their silver tongue show

Man say, you're just a string in the puppet show
