Lyrics for Song: Stiff-Necked Fools
Lyrics for Album: Confrontation
Stiff necked fools, you think you're cool
To deny me for simplicity
Yes you have gone, for so long
With your love for vanity now
Yes you have got the wrong interpretation
Mixed up with vain imagination
So take JAH Sun, and JAH Moon
And JAH Rain and JAH Stars
And forever yes erase your fantasy, yeah
The lips of the righteous, teach many
But fools die for want of wisdom
The rich man's wealth is in his city
The righteous wealth is in his Holy Place
So take JAH Sun, and JAH Moon
And JAH Rain and JAH Stars
And forever, yes erase your fantasy
Destruction of the Poor is in their poverty
Destruction of the soul is vanity, yea
So stiff necked fools, you think you're cool
To deny me for simplicity, yeah, yeah
Yes you have gone, gone for so long
With your love for vanity now
But I don't wanna rule ya
I don't wanna fool ya
I don't wanna school ya
Thngs you, you might never know about
Yes you have got the wrong interpretation
Mixed up with vain, vain imagination
Stiff necked fools, you think you're cool
To deny me for, Ooh simplicity

Stiff-Necked Fools
Bob Marley's 'Stiff-Necked Fools' appears on the 1983 album Confrontation, a collection of tracks recorded during a period when the reggae icon revisited his roots. The song reflects the artist's enduring commitment to social commentary and Rastafarian themes, characteristic of his broader discography. Released alongside other significant works from this era, the track exemplifies Marley's ability to blend traditional reggae rhythms with poignant lyrics addressing human folly and societal challenges. As part of his extensive catalog, the recording stands as a testament to his influence on the genre and his message of unity and awareness. |
