Hailing Rastafari name

And watch dem going up in flames

For all the innocent going down the drain

You have to pay for the shackles and chains

And pay for these washing of the brain

And pay for these guns and cocaine

The sick and the lame, alright

That day will come, when I shall stand and see all those wicked men and the fiyah gettin bun

That day will come, when they will try to escape and there will be nowhere to run

That day will come, when I shall see, they hand in all the bombs and bayonnettes and bullets and gun

Fi blaze down Sodom! Da one ya name, yoow!
