Chorus:
Dem gone. so far away
Dem gone. the hole a dem ago

(Repeat)
Every day you get up and wish to

Tell me Mr.Man whats the deal
You say you have everything sign
and seel
Thought you won the case but nox

You are the one who couldnt hear
now you the one to feel
evidently clear we choppindown your
shield

Plantain your garden and wish that it
will bloom but still youre singing
satan tunes
Chorus:
Dem gone. so far away
Dem gone. the hole a dem ago

(Repeat)
Mother earth was meant for man
and woman to stay

brighter day
and now me come fi give it to you
right away
Do you hear what I say
Chorus:
Dem gone. so far away
Dem gone. the hole a dem ago

and watch the eden dem a scatter
when we walk to dem
and if you know you are not guilty
stand up and dont you run
to all my foes and friends
You may live to see today but you

Just read the writings on the wall its
a message we send
And Babylon will never live to stop
the rising of Jah son
Chorus:
Dem gone. so far away
Dem gone. the hole a dem ago
regret it one day
(Repeat)

Why are you so ungrateful
You nuh see that Jah give we life after all
Check yourself before you wreck yourself
Me see that Jah Jah give we life after all
Still none a dem nuh give no thanks at all
Dem think dem a rise me see dem a fall
fall dem a fall - fall dem a fall
How long you want to go run away
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth ago reveal
and every day you got to pray - well that you fi go do
and make your life one a the real
How you fi expect love and you still a glorifie the gun
How you want clarity if acoke you nuh stop bun
Your dirty lifestyle nuh give you no way to turn
you still nuh realize that you wrong
After you come out of your church you beat your babymother down
and then you tell her you're sorry but your head did full a rum
she couldn't tek your excuse and your flattering tongue
that's why she left you today and still a ask
How long you want to go run away
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth ago reveal
and every day you got to pray - well that you fi go do
and make your life one a the real
Dem say dem a the dolphin but me see dem a the shark
dem stand ina the spotlight and live in the dark
claim say dem grounded but me see dem a skylark
so to me dem can't talk
In this time and this ages man hafi be smart
think before you talk and watch the road wha' you a walk
from you look ina your conscience you can't miss the mark
And make a joyful sound unto the Lord
How long you want to go run away
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth ago reveal
and every day you got to pray - well that you fi go do
and make your life one a the real
Nuff a dem me see dem can teach
Dem hufi go back a school so a no me dem can teach
A fi dem dirty talk dem call it freedom of speech
Me wonder who dem try reach
Righteousness uno fi go check it
Golong and do some good ina Your life wickedness uno fileft it
cleanheart always will make it
and from you see a chance ina your life
you better take it nuh reject it

Verse Gentleman:

Verse Bounty:
This is no man so you must wise up
Open your eyes up
My people rise up, open your price up
See the man slave and mental it just dyes us
and despise us and terrorize us

Love let you down no way
Just hang upon your potion today
Keep it alive, for you and for me
And sad man nuh go morrow get slay

Chorus:
Dem living ina dangerous zone
Oh what a place to call home
This is not a place for me
Thats not where I wann a be (repeat)
I wanna be ina the hills where the birds dem singing
Not ina the city where the bells keep ringing
Too much gunshot and senseless killing
The colour of the dollar and the shaking of the shilling
As you say go buss a head certain man willing
Third class fight the struggle and first class chilling
Sit down ina dem tower and champagne spilling
A who dem want devoyer oh what a sin ting
Chorus (repeat)
Dis is a gunman city a gunman town
I man nuh see no employement around
Mama she a frown daddy him a frown
And the youths dem a buss dem gun from twelve to
Down y me say a life nuh worth nothin
Happy trigger lucky you mr press button
Let me tell something jah will bun you out to nothin
From you bun out the youths
