Lyrics

Give up Jah land
Mister government man (Yeah)
Mister government man
Give up Jah land
Mister government man
Give up Jah land
The poor man, he wants to build a home
He wants to raise a family
The poor man has got his wife and kids
To live for to, you see
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
This land must be free, yes
The father gave it to you and me
And I must get my share well
I must get my share of this
So, mister government man
Give up Jah land
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
An' if they do live on it
You try your very best
An' if they do live on it
All you do is bulldozer them
Mister government man
Give up Jah land
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
Can't stand the situation no more (Oh, well; Yeah)
The poor man, he wants to build a home
He wants to raise a family
The poor man has got his wife and kids
To live for to, you see
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
This land must be free, yes
The father gave it to you and me
And I must get my fair share
I must get my share of this
So, mister government man
Give up Jah land
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
Give it up, give it up, give up Jah land
Give it up, give it up, give up Jah land
The poor man, he wants to build a home
He wants to raise a family (Yes)
The poor man has got his wife and kids
To live for to, you see
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
Hey, mister government man
Give up Jah land
Give it up, give it up, give up Jah land (Oh, yeah; Oh, well)
Give it up, give it up (Oh, yes)
