Downpressor Man

(album: Honorary Citizen - 1997)

Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to
Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to
Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to
All along that day

You gonna run to the sea
But the sea will be boiling
When you run to the sea
The sea will be boiling
The sea will be boiling
All along that day

You gonna run to the rocks
The rocks will be melting

When you run to the rocks
The rocks will be melting
The rocks will be melting
All that day

So I said
Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to
Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to
Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to
All along that day

You drink your big champagne and laugh
You drink your big champagne and laugh
You drink your big champagne and laugh
All along that day

I wouldn't like to be a flea
Under your collar man
I wouldn't like to be a flea
Under your collar man
I wouldn't like to be a flea
Under your collar man
All along that day

You can run but you can't hide
You can run but you can't hide
You can run but you can't hide
Telling you all along that day

You gonna run to the Lord
Begging to hide you
You gonna run to the Lord
Begging to hide you
You gonna run to the Lord
Begging to hide you
You gonna run to Jah
Begging to hide you
All, all along that day

And I said downpressor Man

Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to downpressor man
Where you gonna run to
I said all along
All along, along that day downpressor man
All along, along that day downpressor man
All along, along that day downpressor man
All along, along that day downpressor man

Wait, downpressor man
Where you gonna run to
Downpressor man
I don't know where you gonna run to
All along that day

Downpressor man
You can't run, you can't bribe Jah-Jah
Can't call him in a bar
Fe can drink some
Devil soup
Can't bribe him to run a car now
Can't test him faith
Downpressor man
Downpressor man
Downpressor man

Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to

Downpressor man
You can't bribe no one
