Three big rat, sat on a cat,
One getting fat, and two kinda getting hot,
but look at that, what happened to the mice?
He went to the heist, because he had no choice,
weak like this and weak like that,
this one had the power of snot (???)
So while the heathen arrange other people arrange vain things....(I don't have a clue what he's saying here)....

If the capitalist is I and I shepard, I and I shall always want
they maketh I and I to lie down, in a this iwah,
yeah, though I walk through the fields, and the factories,
I and I obtain no labour, not even a favour,
and the ruthless political behaviour,
help us Jah Jah our saviour,
yeah, tell you baby; that the Dread down in a west

I nah come in with taxation, whole lot a victimisation,
Jah Jah help I from this situation, whole lot of bloody confrontation,
It's Dread!

Check the situation, even in Lizard Town,
Poverty stricken people, you got to hear this sound,
Let the music pllllaaaaaaay.....
Let it play, let it play,
Let the music pllllaaaaaaay.....
That's what Jah Jah got to say!
Come on the sound that lead the way, when you come on down with me,
tell you brother; got to hear what I say:
Fire down on Babylon, fire down on Vatican,
Fire down on Babylon, fire on the Babylon,

Let the music pllllaaaaaaay.....
Let it play, let it play,
Let the music pllllaaaaaaay.....
That's what the Prophet got to say! Each and every day!
Fire down on Babylon, fire down on Vatican,
Fire down on Babylon, fire on the Babylon,
etc.......
