Bob Nesta Marley: Babylon System

Bob Marley - Babylon System 

We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be
We are what we are
That's the way it's going to be, if you don't know
You can't educate I
For no equal opportunity (talkin' 'bout my freedom)
Talkin' 'bout my freedom
People freedom and liberty!
Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long
Rebel, rebel!
Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long
Rebel, rebel!

Babylon system is the vampire, yea! (vampire)
Suckin' the children day by day, yeah!
Me say de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yeah!
Building church and university, wooh, yeah!
Deceiving the people continually, yeah!
Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers
Look out now they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers)
Yea! (sufferers)

Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth right now!
Come on and tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Come on and tell the children the truth

'Cause, 'cause we've been trodding on ya winepress much too long
Rebel, rebel!
And we've been takin' for granted much too long
Rebel, rebel!

Got to rebel, y'all (rebel)
We've been trodding on the winepress much too long, yeah! (rebel)
Yeah! (rebel) Yeah! Yeah!

From the very day we left the shores (trodding on the winepress)
Of our Father's land (rebel)
We've been trampled on (rebel)
Oh now! (takin' for granted)

[Verse 1]
We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be
We are what we are
That's the way (way) it's going to be, if you don't know

Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long
Rebel, rebel
Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long
Rebel, rebel

[Verse 2]
Babylon system is the vampire, yeah (vampire)
Sucking the children day by day, yeah
I say, the Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire
Sucking the blood of the sufferers, yea-ea-ah
Building church and university, wooh, yeah
Deceiving the people continually, yea-ah
I say they are graduating thieves and murderers
Look out now, they are sucking the blood of the sufferers (sufferers)
Yea-ea-eah! (Sufferers)

'Cause, 'cause we've been trodding on your winepress much too long
Rebel, rebel
And we've been taken for granted much too long
Rebel, rebel, now
Trodding on the winepress
We've got to rebel, y'all
Yeah we've been trodding on the winepress much too long, yeah
