Babylon Makes The Rules |
| Cos |
| My people are in a mess |
| But nobody wants to know |
| Cos when you’re down and out and oppressed |
| You’ve got to fight your battles from the |
| Lowest of the low |
| So keep your distance and take your stance |
| Cos this could be your utmost chance |
| You’ve had all night and day to |
| Consider and pray |
| You’ve brought fire on my head and |
| Now you must pay |
| Babylon makes the rules |
| Babylon makes the rules |
| Babylon makes the rules |
| Babylon makes the rules |
| Where my people suffer… |
| Take Rastaman culture for instance |
| Dem think is political joke |
| But we people know better then that |
| Cos what keeps us together is |
| Jah Herb that we smoke |
| I and I know the truth of it all |
| Cos we have smashed our heads |
| 'gainst that wall |
| And now I seh we must create a scene |
| We must recapture our culture |
| By any means |
| Babylon makes the rules |
| Babylon makes the rules |
| Babylon makes the rules |
| Babylon makes the rules |
| Where my people suffer … |
| Count the times we’ve been let down |
| And left us in despair |
| And woe betide that evil man |
| Who giveth not a care |
| You’ve gotta check yourself just |
| One more time |
| Reassure your mind — |
| Cos those who are chosen |
| By the father’s hand |
| Must not get left behind |
| Rasta seh — guidance |
| (4) But Backrah seh different still |
| Babylon makes the rules but |
| Jah love will carry I home |
