| Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day
|
| Dem gone — so far away
|
| Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day
|
| Every day you get up and you wish to have a meal
|
| Now you get a cut and you wish to have it heal
|
| And still you cannot accept that Jah Jah is real
|
| Tell me Mr. Man say whats the deal
|
| You say you have everything sign and seel
|
| Thought you won the case but not you a appeal
|
| You are the one who couldn’t hear now you the one to feel
|
| Evidently clear we choppin down your shield
|
| Dem ain’t going nowhere no time soon
|
| Dem corrupt the east and now dem turn it to the moon
|
| Plant ina your garden and wish that it will bloom
|
| But still you’re singing Satan tunes
|
| Dem gone — so far away
|
| Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day
|
| Mother earth was meant for man and woman to stay
|
| Me find out nuff a dem drifting away
|
| Children can’t even find a place fi play
|
| Birds can’t find no seeds, horses no hay
|
| I see the weavers weaving but dem income delay
|
| Still me see dem searching for a brighter day
|
| And now me come fi give it to you right away
|
| Do you hear what I say?
|
| Dem gone — so far away
|
| Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day
|
| Dem gone — so far away
|
| Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day
|
| Whapen’them?
|
| Give me the mic deh for a moment make me talk to dem
|
| And watch the eden dem a scatter when we walk to dem
|
| And if you know you are not guilty stand up and don’t you run
|
| No, no to all my foes and friends
|
| You may live to see today but you nuh know the end
|
| Just read the writings on the wall it’s a message we send
|
| And Babylon will never live to stop the rising of Jah son
|
| Well, dem, dem
|
| Dem gone — so far away
|
| Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day
|
| Dem gone — so far away
|
| Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day
