Mockeries & Phrase

(альбом: Good Ways - 1998)

[Intro:]
Blessings flow
The reason for life is love
And even before there was
My hands stretch forth up above
Zion we love

[Chorus 1:]
Mockeries and phrase,Babylon applauding for building an evilous world
Follies and craze,ghetto youths skylarking, not seeing all dem twist & twirl
Mockeries and phrase, states and church applauding for building
The Western World
Follies and craze,ghetto youths skylarking,not seeing this true Babylon

[Verse 1:]
Where do you go from here?
Rasta found you guilty on the points of care
Atomic energy fuel your ego cheer
Manufacture machine based upon your nuclear
Your human family dropped to warfare
In the children heart you try to drive all your fear
Can be recognized from the clothes you wear
Yet we nah judge your seam dem, neither your tear

I tell you now
Living in this polluted hemisphere, youths hold strong
Judgement again!
The works of the wicked never will prevail for long
Where you belong,Ethiopian? Babylon me tell yuh say ah

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2:]
Me tell dem the youths in agony,organize proper thing
Ey! channel the only way dey go
So-called authority giving us brutality
I fight for my rights also
Nothing to eat,we hungry--Ey! no clothes,we hungry
Bullets will never stop flow
Selassie I love and mercy inna the crumbling city
Protect us all! Ah tell you now oh oh oh
Living in polluted hemisphere,people hold strong
Judgement again!
The works of the wicked man never will prevail for long
Where you belong?
Give us repatriation!
Selassie I done know say ah

[Chorus 2:]
Mockeries and phrase,Babylon applauding for giving such
An evilous world
Follies and craze,ghetto youths skylarking,not seeing all dem
Twist & twirl
Kill we fi days,Babylon applauding,cause him dunk we inna the
Evilous world
Follies and craze,ghetto youths skylarking,we'll be strong all you
Boys & girls
