Drastic
Ziggy Marley · Other Songs - Ziggy Marley
All nation have to bow, drastic solution
And to the will of the people
All nation bow, drastic resolution
Drastic, do you want it?
Do you want it to be drastic? Would you like it?
Drastic, do you want it?
Oh, do you want it to be drastic? Would you like it?
Hey, I'm a say, we don't want to fight
But if you push us we have to
Hey, we won't give up our rights, will not stand still
Mmh, all this oppression make things rough
So I'm a see, I've become a slave to my purpose
Drastic, do you want it?
Do you want it to be drastic? Would you like it?
Man mi sey fe drastic, do you want it?
Oppressor all over the world, drastic
Man would you like it?
Oh, now, you push us down we still get up
You turn your back on us, mmh, we, we are still here
Try, economic slavery and this is what you do
You put us in a social jail for isolation
Upper class, middle class, lower class
Third World people look, look, look, look
Look you know, look, you know
Know the power that we have
Know the power, catch it like a cat in a bag
Through the power that we have
Know the power, catch it like a cat in a bag
All over the world poor people suffer
Mi sey a dog eats more s-s-supper in society
You make the world so hard
How is a woman to live? How is a man to think?
Hey, I'm just talking to you
Make up your mind, make up your mind
Make up your mind
Make up your mind, make up your mind
Make up your mind
Make up your mind, make up your mind
M-m-make up your mind
Drastic, do you want it? Oppressor over the world
Drastic, man would yo like it? Me sey fi hear my world
Drastic, do you want it? Drastic solution
Drastic, would you like it? Drastic revolution
Drastic, do you want it?
Do you want it to be drastic, would you like it?
All nation have fe bow, oh to the will of the people
All nation have fe bow, to the will of the people
Drastic, drastic, drastic solution
Drastic, drastic, a drastic, drastic revolution
