Lyrics

One good thing about music
When it hits, you feel no pain
One good thing about music
When it hits, you feel no pain
So hit me with music
Hit me with music now, yeah
Hit me with music
Hit me with music now, I got to say
(Trench town rock) I say don't watch that
(Trench town rock) Big fish or sprat
(Trench town rock) You reap what you sow
(Trench town rock) And everyone know now
(Trench town rock) Don't turn your back
(Trench town rock) Give the slum a try
(Trench town rock) Never let the children cry
(Trench town rock) 'Cause you got to tell Jah Jah why you groove
(Grooving) Kingston 12
(Grooving) It's Kingston 12
(Grooving) Woh-woh-woh, it's Kingston 12
(Grooving) It's Kingston 12
Want you fe galang so
Want you fe galang so
You want come cold I up
But you can't come cold I up
'Cause I'm grooving
Yes, I'm grooving
I say, one good thing, one good thing
When it hits, you feel no pain
One good thing about music
When it hits, you feel no pain
So hit me with music
Hit me with music now
Hit me with music
Hit me with music now, look at that
(Trench town rock) I say don't watch that
(Trench town rock) Give me a big fish or sprat
(Trench town rock) You reap what you sow
(Trench town rock) And everyone know now
(Trench town rock) Don't turn your back
(Trench town rock) Give the slum a try
(Trench town rock) Never let the children cry
(Trench town rock) 'Cause you got to tell Jah Jah why you
(Grooving)
(Grooving)
(Grooving)
(Grooving)
Want you fe galang so
Want you fe galang so
You want come cold I up
But you can't come cold I up
'Cause I'm grooving
Lord, I'm grooving
I say, one good thing, one good thing
When it hits, you feel no pain
One good thing about music
When it hits, you feel no pain
So hit me with music
Hit me with music now
Hit me with music
Brutalize me with music
Trench town rock
