Devilstation they intensify 
Church and state they can't satisfy 
While the children still a multiply 
I see babymothers cry 
While the babyfathers die 

Break my backbone while you sit down on your throne 
You must living ina twylight zone 
It's a good thing I man tuff like a rock stone 
Never gonna hear me weap you'll never gonna hear me mone 
Creating all the circumstance 
Still you're claiming that a you the one who nuh response 
When the revolutionary man a take his stand 
You Mr. Jacket and tie it nuh make sense you run 

R:

Promises and lies is what a gwaan 
These are the things righteous people a scorn 
Prophets a ring the alarm 
Tell the heads of government fi cool and fi calm 
And if you live by what you should 
And you doing what you could 
There'll be no bad but good, no no 
Living out in Hollywood 
Buh care about no flesh and blood 
You sink ina the mod 

R: 

You only govern with your weapon 
But dem ya things seh we nuh pon 
Man a no stool fu you fi step pon 
We age trample duppy and the demon 
Nuh join dem gang and me nuh ku-klux dem clan 
Listen to the words of a living man 
This oppression me don't understand 
Are you a creature, beast are you human 

R: 

Break my backbone while you sit down on your throne 
You must living ina twylight zone 
It's a good thing I man tuff like a rock stone 
Never gonna hear me weap you'll never gonna hear me mone 
Creating all the circumstance 
Still you're claiming that a you the one who nuh response 
When the revolutionary man a take his stand
