Bob Marly Lyrics

[UniverseSeven]

So Much Trouble In The World



So much trouble in the world now (repeat)
Bless my eyes this morning
JAH sun is on the rise once again
The way earthly things are going
Anything can happen

You see men sailing on their ego trips
Blast off on their spaceships
Million miles from reality
No care for you, no care for me
So much trouble in the world now (repeat)
All you've got to do is give a little
Give a little, give a little
One more time ye-a-h! ye-ah!

So you think you have found the solution
But it's just another illusion
So before you check out your tide
Don't leave another cornerstone standing there behind
We have got to face the day, ooh we come what may
We the street people talking, we the people struggling

Now they are sitting on a time bomb
Now I know the time has come
What goes up must come down
Goes around comes around

So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble, there is so much trouble
There is so much trouble
So much trouble in the world


-Bob Marley and the Wailers

[jonnygemini]

We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be
We are what we are
That's the way it's going to be, if you don't know
You can't educate I
For no equal opportunity
Talking about my freedom
People freedom and liberty

Yeah, we've been trodding on
The winepress much too long
Rebel, Rebel
We've been trodding on the
Winepress much too long, Rebel

Babylon System is the Vampire
Sucking the children day by day
Me say the Babylon System is the Vampire
Sucking the blood of the sufferers
Building church and university
Deceiving the people continually
Me say them graduating thieves and murderers
Look out now
Sucking the blood of the sufferers

Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth right now
Come on and tell the children the truth
(repeat)

'Cause we've been trodding on
The winepress much too long
Got to Rebel, Got to Rebel Now

We've been taken for granted
Much too long, Rebel
(repeat)

From the very day we left the shores
Of our father's land
We've been trampled on, oh now
Now we know everything we got to rebel
Somebody got to pay for the work
We've done, Rebel

Chant Down Babylon: Confrontation





Come we go burn down babylon one more time
(come we go burn down babylon one more time);
Come we go chant down babylon one more time
(come we go chant down babylon);
For them soft! yes, them soft! (ah-yoy!)
Them soft! yes, them soft! (ah-yoy!)
So come we go chant down babylon one more time
(come we go chant down babylon)!

Men see their dreams and aspiration-a
Crumble in front of their face,
And all of their wicked intention
To destroy the human race.

And how I know - and how I know - and that’s how I know:
A reggae music, mek we chant down babylon;
With music, mek we chant down babylon;
This music, mek we chant down babylon;
This music, come we chant down babylon.

Come we go chant down babylon one more time
(come we go chant down babylon one more time);
Come we go chant down babylon one more time
(come we go chant down babylon);
For them soft! yes, them soft! (ah-yoy!)
Them soft! me say, them soft! (ah-yoy!)
So come we go chant down babylon one more time
(come we go chant down babylon)!

Me say, music you’re - music you’re the key,
Talk to who? please talk to me,
Bring the voice of - of the rastaman,
Communicating to - ’cating to everyone.

How I (know) - how I know, how I (know) - how I know -
And that’s how I know:
A reggae music, chant down - chant down - chant down babylon,
Chant down babylon, chant down babylon,
Chant down babylon!
Reggae music, chant down babylon!
Reggae music, chant down babylon!
Reggae music, chant down babylon!
Reggae music! (chant down babylon) /fadeout/
