Serious Times lyrics with English Translations
These are serious times
Can't you see the signs?
The writing is on the wall
We're riding for a fall
Ooh yeah, now
Everywhere you go all you can hear Is weeping and wailing Some wanna go to Africa But there's no ship a sailing People can get no food Prices keep on rising Children having children Man, that's not surprising Oh no, in these serious times
Who's gonna rule the world? The people wanna know Everybody say: "I will, I will, I will!" But to which one do we go? You see now The communists say, I! The socialists say, I! The capitalists say, I! The Rastaman says I and I In these serious times
Ooh yeah now! Merchandisers selling goods But they can get no buyer Poor people suffering Living down to the wire Politicians promising The whole a them are liars Watch them when the right time comes They bound to catch afire Nuh true.. in these serious times
Men will run to the rock for a hiding place In these serious times Men will run to the rock for a hiding place In these serious times
In these serious times Jobs are hard to find Yet to our dislike.. everybody gone on strike Ooh yeah now!
Look the firemen, strike! Look the teachers them, strike! The bus drivers them, strike! The social workers them, strike! Every striking worker strike soon Lightning's gonna strike Thunder gonna roll Fire gonna burn them, burn them, burn them Time will take its toll, ooh yeah, now
People will be running, running helter skelter They'll run this way They'll run that way They can get no shelter
Poor people suffering Living down to the wire Politicians promising The whole a them are liars Watch them when the right time comes They bound to catch afire Nuh true, in these serious times
Oh yeah, oh yeah.. right on, right on
Babylon war, won't get me down Wicked men will fade away Babylon war, won't get me down Wicked men will fade away..
Everywhere you go all you can hear Is weeping and wailing Some wanna go to Africa But there's no ship a sailing People can get no food Prices keep on rising Children having children Man, that's not surprising Oh no, in these serious times
Who's gonna rule the world? The people wanna know Everybody say: "I will, I will, I will!" But to which one do we go? You see now The communists say, I! The socialists say, I! The capitalists say, I! The Rastaman says I and I In these serious times
Ooh yeah now! Merchandisers selling goods But they can get no buyer Poor people suffering Living down to the wire Politicians promising The whole a them are liars Watch them when the right time comes They bound to catch afire Nuh true.. in these serious times
Men will run to the rock for a hiding place In these serious times Men will run to the rock for a hiding place In these serious times
In these serious times Jobs are hard to find Yet to our dislike.. everybody gone on strike Ooh yeah now!
Look the firemen, strike! Look the teachers them, strike! The bus drivers them, strike! The social workers them, strike! Every striking worker strike soon Lightning's gonna strike Thunder gonna roll Fire gonna burn them, burn them, burn them Time will take its toll, ooh yeah, now
People will be running, running helter skelter They'll run this way They'll run that way They can get no shelter
Poor people suffering Living down to the wire Politicians promising The whole a them are liars Watch them when the right time comes They bound to catch afire Nuh true, in these serious times
Oh yeah, oh yeah.. right on, right on
Babylon war, won't get me down Wicked men will fade away Babylon war, won't get me down Wicked men will fade away..
