Gentleman - Church And State
A building up dem university
But the poorer class of people nah have no facility
And bruise us, so dem soon a go be a calamaity, yah man
Hey look wha' the man tell dem this
Hey, a wha' do dem?
Boom!
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die
Break my backbone, while you sit down on your throne
You must be living in a twilight zone, yeah
It's a good thing I-man tuff like a rock stone
Never gonna hear me weep, you'll never gonna hear me moan
Creating all the circumstance
Still you're claiming that a you the one who no response
When the revolutionary man a takes his stand
You Mr. Jacket and Tie, it no make sense you run, no, no
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die
Promises and lies is what a gwaan
These are the things righteous people a scorn
Prophets a ring the alarm
Tell the heads of government fi cool and fi calm
And if you live by what you should and you're doing what you could
There'll be no bad but good, no, no
Living out in Hollywood, not caring 'bout the flesh and blood
You, sink inna the mud
Oh yes, now
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die
You only govern with your weapon
But dem yah things say we no depend on
Man a no stool fi you fi step on
Me say we trample duppy and the demon, boom
No join no gang and me no Ku-Klux dem Klan
Listen to the words of a living man
This oppression me don't understand
Are you a creature, beast, are you human, yeah?
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die
Break my backbone, while you sit down on your throne
You must be living in a twilight zone, yeah
It's a good thing I-man tuff like a rock stone
Never gonna hear me weep, you'll never gonna hear me moan
Creating all the circumstance
Still you're claiming that a you the one who no response
When the revolutionary man a takes his stand
You Mr. Jacket and Tie, it no make sense you run, no, no
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy..
A wha' do dem? Hey
Make dem know
