Crazy Baldheads
Bob Marley · Marley (Original Soundtrack) [2012]
We gonna chase those crazy
Baldheads out of town
Chase those crazy baldheads
Out of town
I and I build the cabin
I and I plant the corn
Didn't my people before me
Slave for this country
Now you look me with a scorn
Then you eat up all my corn
We gonna chase those crazy baldheads
Chase them crazy
Chase those crazy baldheads out of town
Build your penitentiary, we build your schools
Brainwash education to make us the fools
Hate is your reward for our love
Telling us of your God above
We gonna chase those crazy
Chase those crazy bunkheads
Chase those crazy baldheads out of town
Here comes the conman
Coming with his con plan
We won't take no bribe, we got to stay alive
We gonna chase those crazy
Chase those crazy baldheads
Chase those crazy baldheads out of town
