Confrontation

የዓለም ፀጥታ አዋኪ እና ለሰላም ጉዳይ መሰናክል
 የሆኑትን ሁሉ አይነተኛ ችግሮች
 እዚ ላይ ልንጠቅሳቸውእንፈቅዳለን
 Since the beginning of modern civilization
 Generations have witnessed and inherited the only conflicts of world wars
 But behold the marriage supper of the lamb and the bridegroom onto his bride
 Then shall the earth's children know the true expression of one love
 Then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace.
 Forever eliminating the aspirations, lust and anguish of wars and rumors of wars, Selah!
 See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors
 And propaganda spreading inna the Sunday papers
 Not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause
 Red-a judgement a blaze, blaze ya
 And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse
 And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors
 And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed 'cause
 Inna dem churches tryin' to save, saviors
 Can we do it? we can do it, we shall do it!
 Boom! Tell dem fe uh draw mi out when the world government inna falling out
 Only few men survive crawling out
 Run left him colleagues dem sprawling out, nearly dead!
 Medic haffi haul him out
 And give him two tranquilizer fi stall him out, deh pon base!
 Can't get no calling out when him hear from the shout last week
 Him mistress find a new shoes
 Wife can't get no news and lately she starting to doubt, she still searching!
 And the youth dem bawling out
 Working hard not to let it all come out
 Well it's not safe to go walk about
 A slaughterhouse from Baghdad to water house
 She start to arouse sometime she want a spouse
 She start go out, start beat a darker stout, guns come out!
 Working people funds run out
 Keep a show last week and no one come out, bombs come out!
 Mi gas tank just run out, bombo clatt!
 The scotch tape just run out, weed run out!
 Yuh senses must dumb out, mi have a pound round a back deh a gwan sun out
 Nah come out! 'Til the chalice bun out,
 Nah come out! 'Til the malice bun out, a war!
 Zimbabwe to berlin wall
 Blazin' like a burnin' ball, loose ball, dat no work, in war
 Sleeping, dat no work.in war
 Can't wear jheri curl, in war
 No diamond and pearl, in war
 Can't drink weh a serve, in bar
 Gas wi fuck up yuh nerves, in war
 Shot wi blood up yuh shirt, in war
 Can't go lift up no skirt, in war
 Now disease and germs, in war
 Can't go release your sperms, in war
 Stamina must preserve, in war
 Fire constantly burn, in war
 Red, it red, it red, it red, it red!
 If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it, then you will die.
 You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles, you race of good for nothings
 If you cannot do what other men have done
 What other nations have done, what other races have done
 Then you yourself shall die.
 See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors
 And propaganda spreading inna the Sunday papers
 Not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause
 Red-a judgement a blaze, blaze ya
 And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse
 And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors
 And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed 'cause
 Inna dem churches tryin' to save, saviors
 Hey, now wi fore parents sacrifice enough
 Dem blood sweat and tears run like syrup
 Any day a revolution might erupt, and the sky's over Kingston lighting up
 For the new generation rising up, of youths now a days weh dem sighting up
 And through reasoning dem biding up,
 Searching for the sign and the sign is us,
 Searching for the truth all you find is us,
 Searching for the troops still behind is us,
 The almighty we recruit and we come from the root
 We build like roach building boot
 Weh just can't done, Rastafari' design me tuff
 If a the fight for freedom sign me up
 Cause you tell-lie-vision can't blind me up
 Soldiers and police dem wising up, realizing they're no more right than us
 Realizing there's no use fighting us
 Realizing their opening their eyes to see the same demoralizing life as us
 So we nah tek talk nor smiling up
 Cause the word temper tantrum boiling up,
 And who alling the shots and nah bust none
 Controlling the mind of the young, bring down
 Bear famine, no rain nah fall from London to Dadeland mall
 All the son of the virgin bawl, institute of the church in war
 Preaching and researching war
 Practice and rehearsing war
 Teaching and dem learning war
 Instigating and urging war
 Always keep alert in war
 Cause man will jump out a swerving car
 Now bees and birds in war
 And the freaks and nerds in war
 And the straight and curves in war
 Forward and reverse in war
 Red, it red, it red, it red, it red
 If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it, then you will die.
 You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles, you race of good for nothings
 If you cannot do what other men have done
 What other nations have done, what other races have done
 Then you yourself shall die.
