Babylon Makes The Rules Lyrics by Steel Pulse

Tribute to the Martyrs

0

(2) A weh dem a go do when the time comes around
A weh dent a go sek
Cos
My people are in a mess
But nobody wants to know
Cos when you're down and out and oppressed
You've got to fight your battles from the
Lowest of the low
So keep your distance and take your stance
Cos this could be your utmost chance
You've had all night and day to
Consider and pray
You've brought fire on my head and
Now you must pay
CHORUS
Babylon makes the rules
Babylon makes the rules
Babylon makes the rules
Babylon makes the rules
Where my people suffer...
Take Rastaman culture for instance
Dem think is political joke
But we people know better then that
Cos what keeps us together is
Jah Herb that we smoke
I and I know the truth of it all
Cos we have smashed our heads
'gainst that wall
And now I seh we must create a scene
We must recapture our culture
By any means
CHORUS
Babylon makes the rules
Babylon makes the rules
Babylon makes the rules
Babylon makes the rules
Where my people suffer ...
Count the times we've been let down
And left us in despair
And woe betide that evil man
Who giveth not a care
You've gotta check yourself just
One more time
Reassure your mind -
Cos those who are chosen
By the father's hand
Must not get left behind
Rasta seh - guidance
(4) But Backrah seh different still
Babylon makes the rules but
Jah love will carry I home
