Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They don't want to see us unite
All they want us to do is
Keep on fussing and fighting
[Verse 2]
They don't want to see us live together
All they want us to do is
Keep on killing one another
[Verse 3]
Top ranking, top ranking
Are you skankin'? (Skankin', skankin')
Are you skankin'? (Skankin', skankin')
[Verse 4]
Whoa ho, top ranking
Oh did you mean what you say now?
Are you, oh are you? (Rankin', rankin')
Are ya, Lord, Lord, Lord (Skankin', skankin')
[Verse 5]
They say the blood runs
And it runs through our line
And our hearts, heart of hearts divine, eh
[Verse 6]
And John saw them comin', ooh with the truth
From an ancient time
[Verse 7]
The brotherly love (Brotherly love)
The sisterly love (Sisterly love)
I feel this morning
I feel this morning
[Verse 8]
Brotherly love (Brotherly love)
The sisterly love (Sisterly love)
I feel this morning
This morning, hey
[Verse 9]
They don't want us to unite
All they want us to do is
Keep on fussing and fighting
[Verse 10]
They don't want to see us live together
All they want us to do is
Keep on killing one another
[Verse 11]
Top rankin' (Top rankin')
Did you mean what you said? (Top rankin')
Are you skankin'? (Skankin', skankin')
Are you skankin'? (Skankin', skankin')
[Verse 12]
Top rankin' (Top rankin')
Did you mean what you said?
Are you? (Rankin', rankin')
Are you? (Skankin', skankin')
Top rankin', top rankin'
Top rankin', top rankin'
