Educated Fools lyrics with English Translations
Bunny Wailer:
Hear this!
Three monkeys sitting under a coconut tree (really?)
Discussing things as they are said to be (uh huh)
Said one to the others, now listen you two
There's a strange rumour that can't be true
They say man was ascended from our noble race
But the very idea is a big disgrace
No monkey ever deserted his wife
Or her baby, to ruin their lives
Yeah.. the monkeys drift, is mine (that's right)
Well educated fools they have ruined the world And start make it hard for both the boys and the girls Dem steal all the Africans diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna federal reserves And then Rasta f**k it up and incite riot Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet Now dem hear the kick drum the snare and the hi hat Load up dem belly with some copper shot diet
Imagine after so much chantin' and prayers What a revolutionary situation requires Mi fi come tear off unno face wid pliers Surround dem ends wid all some burning tires Round up dem friends and put dem 'pon trials Until dem send the reparation dollars Warning to all the political scholars Political thieves and political liars Political cocaine and gun suppliers The whole a dem a go down inna flames and fires Well unno better fly out like some frequent fliers Bound to feel the wrath of the real Bongo Nyahs Hey don't f**k yourself next time you read out the budget The government case, ah poor people a judge it Dem bring the guns but the youths dem ah bust it Bun dem skeletons weh lock up inna closet Wipe out dem species and all dem inhabits With a warm series of pain and havoc Nah clean no feces fi money prefer grab it Dem mek mi resort to violence the race get lead up Somebody nah live up, somebody goin dead up Blow! Whole ah the garment dem red up Blow! Car and apartment get bled up Didn't you get ample warning Say poor people fed up and still every morning Dem try hold dem head up Emperor Selassie calling, youths dem fi dread up Babylon is fallin', gun nozzle bend up Releasing the whole of the youth dem weh pen up
Well educated demons they have ruined the world And start make it hard for both the boys and the girls Dem steal all the Africans diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna federal reserves And Rastaman dem f**k it up and we go incite riot Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet Now dem hear the kick drum the snare and the hi hat Load up dem belly with the copper shot diet
Junior Gong that junior bang and beat up Babylon and Vatican Me no come here fi praise up no pagan Me no come here fi big up no batty man See them a come and forgot all about the good great one Tell dem seh injustice nah go last too long See the weapon here inna me hand Politician me ago buss it 'pon Them hide the truth and kill we with jQuery3510439177414114848_1632344612798? Poor people across the world this is a special dedication Africans and these alike don't lose unnu meditation See them a come with racism, nah support segregation Nah go spot me in a fi dem clique and dem congregation How dem rape this country ?? That's why them ban me song Them ? through me make a stand, check the starification yo
Well educated fools they have ruined the world And start make it hard for both the boys and the girls Dem steal all the Africans diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna federal reserves Well educated fools they a few in the world And start make it hard for both the boys and the girls Dem steal all the Africans diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna federal reserves
Well educated fools Educated demons and educated goons Educated mules, educated fools Educated demons and educated goons
Yo, minutes after minutes I say hour after hour How them treat the people them nasty and sour This is warlord style me as black Noah Almighty God inna the statue a tower A long time me know some more did come to devour They have me people dem and shout power and shower And trick them with them rice and flour, ya know Me respect Rastafarians, me respect church goers Dem fi no say poor people on a boat can't no row a Fire a flame me bring fi ya drug for ya And anyone a go a dem fi know ya, well
Heard that man came from sands and other molecules Way before bodies and barbecues With a good side a bad side and still argue too Before schemin' and thievin', And dreamin' of gleamin and feenin Even before Adam and Eve and even Before it was about being the nicest Or whose diamonds that are priceless B.C. around Tutankhamun and Isis On the continent of Africa Pass out and tribes to create a character Sold us sh*t on earth was magical Then the strangers came from the boat with the ropes Chains that felt strange They called it the slave game, the game changed They had shackled like assholes, the bloodclaat! So now a days the way prevent it is a thugs glock Seen them rape and kill our children and women, the villains The bill gon' sort the black man how to kill men Let's keep it real man You can't harm me or scar me, respect for me History's priority with the Marleys..
