 Chant Down Babylon

Come we go burn down Babylon one more time
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
For them soft, yes them soft
Them soft, yes them soft
So come we go chant down Babylon one more time

Men see their dreams and aspirations
Crumble in front of their face
And all their wicked intentions to destroy the
Human race

And how I know, and that's how I know
A Reggae Music, mek we chant down Babylon
With music, mek we chant down Babylon
This music, mek we chant down Babylon
This music, come we chant down Babylon
    
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
For them soft, yes them soft
Them soft, mi say them soft
So come we go chant down Babylon one more time

Music you're, music you're the key
Talk to who, please talk to me
Bring the voice of Rastaman
Communicating to everyone

How I, how I know, how I, how I know
And that's how I know
A Reggae Music, chant down, chant down Babylon
Chant down Babylon, chant down Babylon
Chant down Babylon
Reggae Music, chant down Babylon
Reggae Music, chant down Babylon
Reggae Music, chant down Babylon
Reggae Music

 Coming In From The Cold

Coming in from the cold
In this life, in this life, in this life
In this oh sweet life
We're coming in from the cold
We're coming in, coming in, coming in
Coming in from the cold

It's you, it's you, it's you i'm talking to
Well you, it's you, it's you
It's you i'm talking to now
Why do you look so sad and forsaken
When one door is closed
Don't you know another is open

Would you let the system
Make you kill your brotherman
No dread no
Would you make the system
Make you kill your brotherman
No dread no
Would you make the system
Get on top of your head again
No dread no
Well the biggest man you ever
Did see was just a baby

In this life, in this life
In this oh sweet life
We're coming in from the cold
We're coming in, coming in, coming in
We're coming in from the cold
It's life, it's life, it's life
Coming from the cold
We're coming in, coming in, coming in
Coming in from the cold
    
It's you, it's you, it's you i'm talking to
Well you, it's you, it's you
It's you i'm talking to now
Why do you look so sad and forsaken
Don't you know
When one door is closed
Don't you know many more is open

Would you let the system
No dread no
Would you let the system
Get on top of your head
No dread no
Would you let the system
Make you kill your brotherman
No dread no
The biggest man you evre
Did see was once a baby

In this life, in this life, in this life
In this oh sweet life
We're coming in from the cold
We're coming in, coming in, coming in
Coming in from the cold
We're coming in, coming in, coming in

 Concrete Jungle

No sun will shine in my day today; (no sun will shine)
The high yellow moon won't come out to play:
(that high yellow moon won't come out to play)
I said (darkness) darkness has covered my light,
(and the stage) And the stage my day into night, yeah.
Where is the love to be found? (oo-ooh-ooh)
Won't someone tell me?
'Cause my (sweet life) life must be somewhere to be found -
(must be somewhere for me)
Instead of concrete jungle (la la-la!),
Where the living is harder (la-la!).

Concrete jungle (la la-la!):
Man you got to do your (la la-la!) best. Wo-ooh, yeah.
No chains around my feet,
But I'm not free, oh-ooh!
I know I am bound here in captivity;
G'yeah, now - (never, never) I've never known happiness;
(never, never) I've never known what sweet caress is -
    
Still, I'll be always laughing like a clown;
Won't someone help me? 'Cause I (sweet life) -
I've got to pick myself from off the ground
(must be somewhere for me), he-yeah! -
In this ya concrete jungle (la la-la!):
I said, what do you got for me (la-la!) now, o-oh!
Concrete jungle (la la-la!), ah, won't you let me be (la la-la!), now.
Hey! Oh, now!

/Guitar solo/

I said that life (sweet life) - it must be somewhere to be found
(must be somewhere for me)
Oh, instead: concrete jungle (la-la!) - collusion (la-la!) -
confusion (confusion). Eh!

Concrete jungle (la-la!): baby, you've got it in.
Concrete jungle (la la-la!), now. Eh!
Concrete jungle (la la-la!).

What do you stand(?) for me (la-la!), now? /fadeout/

 Could You Be Loved

Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

Don't let them fool you
Or even try to school you, oh! no
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking
Is not right
Love would never leave us alone
In the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

The road of life is rocky
And you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers
Someone else is judging you
Love you brotherman

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved
    
Don't let them change you
Or even rearrange you, oh! no
We've got a life to live
They say only, only
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive

Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

You ain't gonna miss your water
Until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him
The man will never be satisfied

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved

Say something, say something
Say something
Reggae, reggae
Say something
Rockers, rockers
Say something could you be loved
