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'
