Cold Blood Lyrics by Peter Tosh

Wanted Dread & Alive

1981

Every time I see Babylon my blood runs cold
Every time I see the wicked men my belly moves
You say after me sir
I solemnly swear
That the evidence I shall give
Shall be the truth
The whole truth
And nothin but the truth
So help me God
So help I Jah [3x] .. Rastafari
Every time I see the wicked men my belly moves
You are brought before this court
For having ganja in your possession
Guilty or not guilty
Not guilty your honor
How could one man do such a thing ... Gang Jah
It is totally impossible your honor
I can remember yeah
When I was framed and jailed, brutalized
The grudge would find me guilty
For an exhibit they could not find
Every time I see Babylon my blood runs cold
Every time I see the wicked men my belly moves
When I see the condition
I said it's a curse
For the past 400 years ago
Things get from bad to worse
Every time I see Babylon my blood runs cold
Every time I see the wicked men my belly moves
