80,000 Careless Ethiopians

Idren and sistren, sight up Jah Ras, Jah Rastafari!
Even the childs on their mothers' breasts
Are sightin' up, are sightin' up Jah Rastafari
80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon
80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion
And it came to pass in the eleventh year
In the first month of the seventh day
The words of Jah came to us, saying:
I shall say unto the north: «Give up!»
And to the south: «Keep not back!»
Send the chosen sons from afar
And his daughters from the ends of the earth
80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon
80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion
A living God
25,000 shall gather
Oh, O the my God
Jah Almighty living God
And it came to pass in the eleventh year
In the first month of the seventh day
The words of Jah came to us, saying:
I shall say unto the north: «Give up!»
And to the south: «Keep not back!»
Send the chosen sons from afar
And his daughters from the ends of the earth
80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon
80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion
Oh, all the licks that I have received
I feel it all over me
Even the blind cannot see — it’s feeling the pressure from Babylon
Oh, I am feeling all the pain from Babylon licks that I have received all over
Their faces so ugly — they look just like the devil in the deep blue sea
O Jah, O Jah, O Jah.
