Lyrics The Oppressed Song - The Wailers

The Oppressed Song

The man oppressed will seem to do the worst.
But with all he possesses welf preservation comes first.
His damnation comes from not borning free,
As destruction of the poor is their poverty,
Is their poverty.
Oppression is the poor man’s choice
Ah, but in this he does rejoice
His burdens tho' heavy he somehow bears
As for his seed, there’s only one who cares,
There’s only one who cares…
Tho' his pilgrimage extends
His progresses ascends.
But as the proud one exalts
He’s gonna find his faults.
But as the wise man sees
He knows, he knows
That there’s no rest in the west
So to the east he goes,
To the east he goes.
