Racial Injustice lyrics with English Translations
Oh, when I wake up in the morning, yeah
There is no breakfast on my table, oh no
When I reach home in the evening, yeah
There is no dinner on my table, oh no
How many rivers do we have to cross Before we can talk to the boss, yeah? Hey! How many rivers do we have to cross, yeah, yeah Before we can talk to the boss, yeah?
So dem a loot and a shoot and a wailing, yeah (Loot and a shoot and wailing) Racial war in the city Now it's a burning ya, yeah, hey
So long poor people crying out to you You never give a listening ear So long poor people reaching out to you, yeah You never seem to really care
In your land of plenty So many poor homeless and hungry, yeah So many die on the frontline So long we slaved on the homeline So them a root with the truth and them saying, yeah (Root with the truth and saying) Racial war failing tonight, hey, well, well
So much promises, so much lies Bring more tears to their eyes So much being said, a little been done, yeah Whoah, yeah, so many crying when there's so much fun
How long will you reap off their labour? And keep them so poor in great hunger, yeah How can you sit there and say you care? When so much pain and sorrows everywhere
Champagne and caviar time You don't care if Jah come in the morning So you treat Jah children like swine And you don't take heed to Jah warning, oh no
Oh now, yeah
