Citizens

Citizens bound in chains
Citizens bound inna Babylon
Citizens bound in chains without money, waitin' for a change
Citizens bound inna Babylon

Bad man society, chat-man no fightin'
Perdition a mighty, no treat on track
Shit print in magazine, drug sex 'n medicine
Dis left in legacy, no honor for we
Dis is the way, for all the same old story (old story...)
Take or leave, dirty warriors without glory
Dis is de time when dem a smoke in your eyes,
Dem a give money, dem a take rights
A drink best served with ice
For your stability at any price
Yuh don't know why yuh still a rank below
Politician-dem, got away with it
We don't want yuh sit 'pon our throne.

Citizens bound in chains without money, waitin' for a change we a
Citizens bound inna Babylon
Citizens bound in chains without money, lookin' for de money we a
Citizens bound inna Babylon

Citizens a get money, money, money, hmm!
When yuh work like a mule, get money a your rule
But yuh alone stay in dis bad bad day
Run to work, run to boss, get your pay
Eight o' clock, sittin' cosy, nine o' clock, sittin' busy
Ten o' clock, yuh go crazy, yuh need break... so get
Cigarette, shoppin', hav pretty pets,
Hav phone, hav fun, hav f
Dem tek aweh your rights, but
Yuh forget to fight!
Dem a tek aweh our rights now, but
We forget to fight!
See our mum 'till a cry dis mornin'
She hav no money 'n rights
Among ourselves we a fussin' and fightin'
We hav no money 'n rights...

Citizens bound in chains without money, waitin' for a change we a
Citizens bound inna Babylon
Citizens bound in chains without money, we a lookin' for de money we a
Citizens bound inna Babylon

Citizen can still draw the line under the whole thing
Citizen can still draw the line under the whole thing
One step forward, two steps backward down inna Babylon.
