(Wanted) Dead Or Alive |
| The rule of the tyrants decline |
| The year, 1979 |
| From uganda to nicaragua |
| It’s bombs and bullets all the time |
| So they corrupt, so they vile |
| So it’s coup after coup all the while |
| Human rights they violate |
| They think they too damn great |
| So in disgrace now they live in exile |
| Gairy is a wanted man |
| Idi amin is a wanted man |
| Shah of iran tried so hard to survive |
| He too was wanted dead or alive |
| Strikes, demonstrations & wars |
| Injustice is always the cause |
| Politicians turn too soon from |
| Poor people into tycoons |
| Corruption must bring harass |
| South african vorster resign in disgrace |
| Muzurewa take away ian smith place |
| The uganda devil was easily cat straddled |
| Beaten up and chased, what a waste |
| Gairy is a wanted man |
| Bokassa is a wanted man |
| Ali bhutto try so hard to survive |
| He too was wanted dead or alive |
| The shah had a short time to live |
| Because the ayatollah don’t forgive |
| When you see church ruling state |
| With pure vengeance and hate |
| Situation must be explosive |
| General somoza from nicaragua |
| Thought it was easy with the sandanistas |
| With the help of venezuela, panama and cuba |
| They kick him straight to america |
| Gairy is a wanted man |
| Park chung hee was a wanted man |
| Achem pong tried so hard to survive |
| He too was wanted dead or alive |
| Gairy is a wanted man |
| Idi amin is a wanted man |
| Shah of iran tried so hard to survive |
| He too was wanted dead or alive |
| Bang… you're dead |
