Bob Marley - Babylon System lyrics

1979

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We refuse to be

What you wanted us to be

We are what we are

That's the way it's going to be

You can't educate us

For no equal opportunity

Talking about my freedom

People freedom and liberty

Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress

Much too long

Rebel, rebel

We've been trodding on the winepress

Much too long

Rebel

Babylon system is the vampire

Sucking the children day by day

Babylon system is the vampire

Sucking the blood of the sufferers

Building church and university

Deceiving the people continually

Me say them graduating thieves and murderers

Look out now

Sucking the blood of the sufferers

Tell the children the truth

Tell the children the truth

Tell the children the truth right now

Come on and tell the children the truth

Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress

Much too long

Got to rebel, got to rebel now

We've been trodding on the winepress

Much too long

Rebel

From the very day we left the shores

Of our father's land

We've been trampled on, oh now

Now we know everything, we got to rebel

Somebody got to pay for the work we've done

Rebel
