Jah Is Dead Lyrics

JAH IS DEAD

Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead
Don't wanna go dread and do things them said
Idolatry
Forbidden for me
All the things with no common sense in them
The logical centre in brain it nah agree
One of them a crowning of the king
Whom they sing and they call a lord of the worlds
Oh lord such a blasphemy
Provokes a war of the words

Man worship
Cost my people too much
Taken them to a slave ship
And brought them to a strange land
But the tribes of the cost who read the book of
revelation
Have become a proud nation
And fight off the intruder
For it was better to die under African sky
Than to live in a strange land
Controlled by a white man
Oh yeah
Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead
Don't wanna go dread and do things them said
Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead
You know my lord I've got only one king
Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead
I give you praise in return you give bread

Revolution
In Ethiopia land
A military coup by the soldier them a call
Mengistu Haile Miriam
Oh while my people wonder why
You se Jah Rastafari feeding his pet lions
And hungry youth starve
Oh man oh man
Redemption
For each and everyone
Oh for my lord is the one who created heaven
And the sky and the land
He also created Haile Sellasie one of six billion
People who should bow down
When it's praying time
So I tell my people

Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead
Don't wanna go dread and do things them said
Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead
You know my lord I've got only one king
Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead
I give you praise in return you give bread
