Don Carlos & Gold - Declaration Of Rights

Look, oh Lord, they, brought us down here
Have us in bondage, right through these years
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Living down here, it's like, living in hell, I say

Get up and fight for your right, my brothers
Get up and fight for your right, my sisters

Took us away from, civilization
Brought us to slave in their, plantation
Fussing and fighting, amongst our brethrens
Living down here man, it's worser than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your right, my brothers
Get up and fight for your right, my sisters

(..)
Whoa-oh, oh yes
Whoa-oh, oh yes

Took us away.. from, civilization
Brought us to slave, in their, plantation
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves, yes
Living down here, is like, living in hell, I say

Get up and fight for your right, my brothers
Get up and fight for your right, my sisters

Look, oh Lord, they brought us down here
Have us in bondage, right through these years
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves yeah
Living down here, it's like, living in hell, I say

Get up and fight for your right, my brothers
Get up and fight for your right, my sisters
