FIRE
Fire fire fire
Fire fire fire
Theres a fire burning in a babylon
So get your bucket and your water from the well
Well, well, well, well
This is the land of milk and honey
This is the land where we need no money
We dont fuss and fight
We just socialize
And we unite

DADDY WAS NO MURDERER
Babylon feel no way while I tell you of a story
But its a serios accusation of how you treat my daddy
I lay there in my bed didnt know that I was dreaming
But it gave me cause to think cause I ended up screaming
CHORUS
My daddy was no murderer
Seh papa was no murderer
Daddy was no murderer
Papa was no murderer
I see the lights flashing down our place one night
So I get up turn on my bedroom light
Thinking someone bust up in a little fight
But ot my horror, I found I was not right
Instead I see police bang down my door
So I run downstairs fe go cetch little more
Only to hear youre wanted,
youre wanted, youre wanted,
Youre a wanted man
You have the right to remain silent they said
Whatever you say will be taken down
And used as evidence against you
CHORUS
Now my father he being a peaceful man
Did not resist to these wicked policemen
Instead he pleaded, said he could not see
The reason why they plead him guilty
Thank god that I was only dreaming
That daddy was no murderer
No murderer
Thats all i scream and I shout in my bed I say no
Oh no no no
Mother left us from when we were small
You take away my daddy you take away all
Everything we lived for
CHORUS

PRESIDENT AMIN
He is coming
He is coming
There was a general
General Amin
This man is on the scene
And he's killing
The black brothers ans sisters
One by one
Two by two
And three by three
This man is killing them
This man is dread
He's dreader than dread
This man he rules in Uganda
And he's causing a right propaganda
He wants to rule all of Africa
He wants to be king if kings
And lords of lords
But he will never be lord of lords
This man they call president Amin
President Amin

RUMOURS
There will be wars and rumours of war,
In this dread, dread, dread, dreadful land
There will be people killing people
There will be famine, famine, famine and starvation...
You better hear me when I say
Brethren watch and pray
Because that day
Is not so far away from judgement day comes
When there will be wailing
Children screaming and grown men crying
I see the mother, they bawl for their daughters
Why cause their daughters, they are only young children
Bearing young children!
Bearing young children!
You see theyve lost the respect
For their grandparents children

SMOKING MY GANJA
Im a wanted man
Running away from the policeman
Them want fe charge I
For smoking ganja
I see them coming
Some are coming with their guns
Some are coming with their batons
Some are riding on horses
Some are coming with their dogs
Just fe catch I
Oh oh just fe catch I
(I feel the presence of the wicked)
Meanwhile Im smoking my ganja
Them a use LSD
Meanwhile Im smoking my ganja
Them a use them LSD
Dont wanna learn no GCE
Or JSE
Dont trouble I (oh no)
Dont trouble I (oh no)
Im just smoking my ganja
Im just smoking my ganja

UNEMPLOYED
Woke up this morning yawned and scratched my skin
Think to myself now, what would this day bring?
Day after day spent walking the town
I play the fool then I act the clown
But is it my fault that Im unqualified
Clear from JA in Britain to reside
As an unemployed member of the public
CHORUS
Look who's unemployed now
Look who's unemployed now
Look who's unemployed now
Look who's unemployed now
Its not that Im afraid of work you see
Ill build computers even chop down trees
My parents tell me that Im no damn good
Theyre better of with a man of wood
So help me brothers now help me if you can
cos after all Im just a human man
Not just an unemployed member of the public
CHORUS
To all of those of you that work for your pay
Please be careful in the words that you say
To all of thosee not as fortunate as you
cos findning a job is not so easy to do
So keep it in mind that maybe some day
You just might end up the very same way
As an unemployed member of the public

REJOICE
If youre African
Rejoice
If youre Indian
Rejoice
For we are free
To worship openly
If a man should say
