We and Dem Lyrics
[Chorus]
We no know how we and dem a-go work this out, oy!
We no know how we and dem a-go work it out
[Verse 1]
But someone will have to pay
For the innocent blood
That they shed every day
Oh, children, mark my word
It's what the Bible say, yeah! yeah!
[Chorus]
[verse 2]
But in the beginning Jah created everything (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh)
Giving man dominion over all things
But now it's too late
You see, men has lost their faith (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh), hey-ey-hey!
Eating up all the flesh from off the earth, eh!
[Chorus]
[Bridge 1]
But I say: we no know how we and dem a-go work it out
Them a flesh and bone!
We no know how we and dem a-go work it out
We no know how we and dem a-go work this out, oy!
We no know how we and dem a-go work it out
[Verse 1]
But someone will have to pay
For the innocent blood
That they shed every day
Oh, children, mark my word
It's what the Bible say, yeah! yeah!
[Chorus]
[verse 2]
But in the beginning Jah created everything (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh)
Giving man dominion over all things
But now it's too late
You see, men has lost their faith (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh), hey-ey-hey!
Eating up all the flesh from off the earth, eh!
[Chorus]
[Bridge 1]
But I say: we no know how we and dem a-go work it out
Them a flesh and bone!
We no know how we and dem a-go work it out
[Verse 3]
But we now have no friends
In a high society, yeah!
We no have no friends
Oh, mark my identity
We no have no friends. Oh-oh! Yeah!
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Ilyabom! [fadeout]
But we now have no friends
In a high society, yeah!
We no have no friends
Oh, mark my identity
We no have no friends. Oh-oh! Yeah!
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Ilyabom! [fadeout]
