Confrontation (feat. Bunny Wailer)

Since the beginning of modern civilization

Generations have witnessed and inherited only conflicts of world wars

But behold the marriage supper of the lamb

And bridegroom unto his bride

Then shall the earth's children know the true expression of one love

Then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace

Forever eliminating aspirations, lust and anguish of wars and rumors of wars

Seek, allow, the innocent going up in vapors

And propaganda spreading inna the Sunday papers

Not even Superman coulda save you with him cape 'cause

Read a judgement a blaze, blaze ya

And Babylon a gamble the youth, them life like racehorse

And give them a uniform and shave them head with razors

And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed 'cause

Them inna them churches trying to save, save us

Can we do it? We can do it, we shall do it

Boom, tell them fi not draw me out

When the world government inna falling out

Only few man survive, crawling out

Run left him colleague, them sprawling out

Nearly dead, medic haffi haul him out

And him too tranquilize, haffi stall him out

They pump base, Jah get no calling out

When him hear come the shout last week

Him mistress find her new shoes, wife can't get no news

And lately she starting to doubt

She still searching, and the youth them balling out

Working hard to not let it all come out

Well, it's not safe to go walk about

A slaughterhouse from Baghdad to Waterhouse

She start arouse, sometime she want a spouse

She start go out, start beat a darker stout

Guns come out, working people funds run out

People show last week and not one come out

Bombs come out, me gas tank just run out

Bumbaclot, the scotch tape just run out

Weed run out, your senses must dumb out

Never ponder on a bad day, gon' sun out

Nah come out till the chalice burn out

Nah come out till the malice burn out

A war

Zimbabwe to Berlin wall

Blazing like a burning ball

Loose ball that no work in war

Sleeping that no work in war

Can't wear Jheri curl in war

No diamond and pearl in war

Can't drink what ya serve in bar

'Cause gas will fuck up ya nerves in war

Shot a blood up your shirt in war

Can't go lift up no skirt in war

No disease and no germs in war

Can't go release your sperms in war

Stamina must preserve in war

Fire constantly burn in war

Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready

If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it then you will die

You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles, you race of good for nothings

If you cannot do what other men have done

What other nations have done

What other races have done

Then you let yourself die

Seek, allow, the innocent going up in vapors

And propaganda spreading inna the Sunday papers

Not even Superman coulda save you with him cape 'cause

Read a judgement a blaze, blaze ya

And Babylon a gamble the youth, them life like racehorse

And give them a uniform and shave them head with razors

And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed 'cause

Them inna them churches trying to save, save us

Hey, now we're core fear and sacrifice enough

Them blood, sweat and tears run like syrup

Any day revolution might erupt

And the skies over Kingston lighting up

For the new generation rising up

Half youths nowadays wear them sighting up

And true reasoning them biding up

Searching for the sign and the sign is us

Searching for the truth, all you find is us

Searching for the troops, still behind is us

The almighty recruit, and we come from the root

We'll be like roach killing boot

We just stand up, Rastafari design me tough

If a they fight for freedom, sign me up

'Cause your tell-i-vision can't blind me up

Soldiers and police, them lining up

Realizing they're no more right than us

Realizing there's no use fighting us

Realizing they open their eyes to see

The same demoralizing life as us

So we nah take talk, not smiling up

'Cause the world temper-tantrum boiling up

On who calling the shots and nah bust none

Controlling the mind of the young, bring down

Beer famine, nah rain nah fall

From London to Dadeland mall

All the son of the virgin born

Institute of the church in war

Preaching and researching war

Practice and rehearsing war

Teaching and them learning war

Instigating and urging war

Always keep alert in war

'Cause man will jump out the swerving car

Know the bees and the birds in war

And the freaks and the nerds in war

And the straight and the curves in war

Forward and reverse in war

Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready

If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it then you will die

You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles, you race of good for nothings

If you cannot do what other men have done

What other nations have done

What other races have done

Then you let yourself die
