Lyrics
People rise and take your power
Stolen for long and kept away yeah
Babylon must run for cover
Time the wicked got to pay
Yeah
People bomb
In the streets
(People power)
They'll face your guns
They'll never retreat ei
(People power)
People bomb in the streets
People power)
The time has come
They'll never retreat
Eh a time to rise
Ina dis ya revolution
Politicians in the streets
Deceiving the people everyday
They don't believe in what they preach
But like mules we follow anyway
Arise
Shout it out like thunder
Arise
No more sleepless slumber
Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up
Don't you know we are stronger
Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up
Time to know the master
Cos you've got the coats
And you've got the guns
But we've got the votes
And we've got the guns yeah
Where you've got the coats
And you've got your voice
We've got no votes
So we are the bombs
People bomb
In the streets
(People power)
They'll face your guns
They'll never retreat
(People power)
People bomb in the streets
People power)
The time has come
They'll never retreat
Time to rise
Ina dis ya revolution
They spread no truth
They spread no food
They cause people revolution
But when the time is due
The time is due
They fall in a street revolution
When their voices have been kept down for much too long
They rebel
Give them the choices they won't go down and fight so strong
(Mass rebelion)
Ei
When judgment a come
It's time for the ruled to make rules
Never take your people for fools
They'll no longer obey your rules eei
People bomb
In the streets
(People power)
They'll face your guns
They'll never retreat
(People power)
People bomb in the streets
People power)
The time has come
They'll never retreat
