Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We no know how we and dem gon' work this out
We no know how we and dem gon' work this out
But someone will have to pay
For the innocent blood
That they shed every day
Oh children, mark my word
It's what the Bible say
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
We no know how we and dem gon' work this out
We no know how we and dem gon' work this out
But in the beginning
Jah created everything
He gave man dominion over all things
But now it's too late
You see, men has lost their faith
Hey, hey
Eating up all the flesh
From off the Earth, hey
[Verse 3]
We no know how we and dem gon' work this out
(We no know)
We no know how we and dem gon' work it out
(No, we don't know)
[Verse 4]
But I say
We no know how we and dem gon' work this out
Them a flesh and bone
We no know how we and dem gon' work this out
But we now have no friends
In high society, yeah
We no have no friends
Oh, mark my identity
[Verse 5]
We no have no friends
Oh, oh, yeah
[Verse 6]
We no know how we and dem gon' work it out
(No, we don't know)
We no know how we and dem gon' work this out
(We no know)
We no know how we and dem gon' work it out
(No, we don't know)
We no know how we and dem gon' work this out
Rasta
We no know how we and dem gon' work it out
