Lyrics

(Eh-ya!)

Everybody run run run (Eh-ya!)

Everybody scatter scatter (Eh-ya!)

Some people lost some bread (Eh-ya!)

Someone nearly die (Eh-ya!)

Someone just die (Eh-ya!)

Police they come, army they come (Eh-ya!)

Confusion everywhere (Eh-ya!)

Seven minutes later

All don cool down, brother

Police don go away

Army don disappear

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood (Them regular trademark)

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood (Them regular trademark)

Them regular trademark (Them regular trademark)

That is why (Eh-ya!)

Everybody run run run (Eh-ya!)

Everybody scatter scatter (Eh-ya!)

Some people lost some bread (Eh-ya!)

Someone nearly die (Eh-ya!)

Someone just die (Eh-ya!)

Police they come, army they come (Eh-ya!)

Confusion everywhere (Eh-ya!)

Seven minutes later

All don cool down, brother

Police don go away

Army don disappear

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood (Them regular trademark)

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood (Them regular trademark)

Them regular trademark (Them regular trademark)

My people self they fear too much

We fear for the thing we no see

We fear for the air around us

We fear to fight for freedom

We fear to fight for liberty

We fear to fight for justice

We fear to fight for happiness

We always get reason to fear:

We no wan die

We no wan wound

We no wan quench

We no wan go

I get one child

Mama dey for house

Papa dey for house

I wan build house

I don build house

I no want quench

I want enjoy

I no wan go

Ah!

So policeman go slap your face

You no go talk

Army man go whip your yansh

You go they look like donkey

Rhodesia they do them own

Our leaders they yab for nothing

South Africa they do them own

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood (Them regular trademark)

Them regular trademark (Them regular trademark)

Them regular trademark (Them regular trademark)

Regular trademark (Them regular trademark)

That is why (Eh-ya!)

Everybody run run run (Eh-ya!)

Everybody scatter scatter (Eh-ya!)

Some people lost some bread (Eh-ya!)

Someone nearly die (Eh-ya!)

Someone just die (Eh-ya!)

Police they come, army they come (Eh-ya!)

Confusion everywhere

Ah, na so

Time go they go

Time no wait for nobody

Like that: choo, choo, choo, ah

But police go they come, army go they come

With confusion

In style like this

(Eh-ya!)

Everybody run run run (Eh-ya!)

Everybody scatter scatter (Eh-ya!)

Some people lost some bread (Eh-ya!)

Someone nearly die (Eh-ya!)

Someone just die (Eh-ya!)

Police they come, army they come (Eh-ya!)

Confusion everywhere

Seven minutes later

All don cool down, brother

Police don go away

Army don disappear

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood (Them regular trademark)

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood (Them regular trademark)

Them regular trademark (Them regular trademark)

That is why

(Eh-ya!)

Everybody run run run (Eh-ya!)

Everybody scatter scatter (Eh-ya!)

Some people lost some bread (Eh-ya!)

Someone nearly die (Eh-ya!)
