Security

Commander-in-chief
Him dey bring
Democracy
To all the people of the world
Limited liability
Him dey bring democracy
To all the people of the world
(Him dey bring)
Him dey bring war, destruction
(Him dey bring)
Him dey bring corporate greed
(Him dey bring)
Him dey bring open market
(Him dey bring)
Him dey bring killing spree
I don't understand why they don't see
Because (they're masterless)
Because (they're shameless)
Because (they're ruthless)
He so loved (why he so loved?)
'Cause he's so loved (why he so loved?)
'Cause he's so loved (why he so loved?)
'Cause he's so loved
Because (they're masterless)
Because (they're shameless)
Because (they're ruthless)
He so loved (why he so loved?)
'Cause he's so loved (why he so loved?)
'Cause he's so loved (why he so loved?)
'Cause he's so loved
Lie in hope, lie in wait (?)
For him to stop, for him to change (?)
He won't change he, war machine (?)
He control you works perfectly [?]
He send dem
(Fight, fight, fight)
Fight and fight for love of my country
(Fight, fight, fight)
Oh I kill I kill I kill everybody
(Fight, fight, fight)
Come and come back dem call me war hero
(Fight, fight, fight)
When you ask them dem say no democracy
(war hero)
I cross desert (he cross desert, desert made of bones)
I cross desert (he cross desert, desert made of bones)
I pass jungle (he pass jungle, made of stone and steel)
I pass jungle (he pass jungle, made of stone and steel)
I swim ocean (he swim ocean)
I swim (ocean made of salt and tears)
From children, and mothers, and fathers (salt and tears)
From elders, and lovers, and everyone (salt and tears)
From children, and mothers, and fathers (salt and tears)
From elders, and lovers, and everyone (salt and tears)
And everyone
And everyone
(Fight, fight, fight)
Him masterless, him shameless, him ruthless
(Fight, fight, fight)
Him masterless, him shameless, him ruthless
(Fight fight fight)
They still believe him. Why they believe him? because they do
(Fight fight fight)
They still believe him. Why they believe him? because they do
(Fight fight fight)
They still believe him. Why they believe him? because they do
(Fight fight fight)
They still believe him. Why they believe him?
