Caught in a Ghetto

You're caught in a ghetto of your own, man. So set yourself free – because you're caught, caught by your own! You got to wake up!
 Ain't it your foolish heart which rules your hand
 ain't it a greedy thought to cheat a friend
 ain't it your silent wish to be the king
 ain't it a weak king who's killing for money and things?
 Tell me man where is your knowledge (you'll never see smoke without fire)
 tell me man where are you gone (gone and gone)
 sell your soul but when you wake up (wake up wake up)
 you'll receive a bag of scorn
 [Chorus:]
 You are caught in a ghetto caught in a ghetto
 caught in a ghetto of your own
 so you fall in the pit, woe
 fall in the pit, woe
 you've been digging for all the souls
 And in these hard times of trouble
 you will be far way from their side
 and when they call the offender
 there is a day which you deny
 Oh man you got that money
 and greedy dogs won't ever bite
 judge I see that honey
 you vow as easy as you lie
 Look into your heart if you really build a cornerstone
 fighting their religion man you're eating flesh and bone
 who's killing for the righteous
 he will never earn the throne
 sitting in a ghetto, in a ghetto of your own, bless!
 We're all depending on fire Jah love and crystal waters
 this is how we express the present to all the sons and daughters
 life ain't no prison but still the civilized is the privileged
 somebody save me and lead me to the bridge and
 History is painting
 a bloody vision on your flag
 but your boat isn't shaking
 you're swearing you obey your God
 man don't you know that looks are deceiving
 and tomorrow never dies
 no never dies
 [Chorus]
