Babylon Makes The Rules

(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.
 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.
 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.
