Peace and love
Flying so high
Peace and love
Too young to die
Peace and love
Now you decide
Stay for the children
You don't really want to go
Can't feel it pulling like you did
Peace and love
Peace and love
Only a ride
Strength is gone
Dying inside
Tell me now
What did you find
Found love in the people
Livin' in a sacred land
Found love in the people
Peace and love
[Vedder:]
Found love (found ...?)
Saw my mistake
Broke walls of pain to walk again
I saw the dream
I saw the wake
We shared it all
But not the take
Peace and love
Lennon's goodbye
Over Now
Living in time
A broken bell
A nursery rhyme
Deserted by heroes
Strangers in your own land
No way to deny you
No way to deny you
Peace and love
[Vedder:]
I took it all
I took the oath
I took it all
Til I had most
I took what's left
I gave it breath
I had it all once
I gave it back
Chorus:
General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary
Down in the dump cell, where I can't take no smell
It's like a oven baking for 2 thousand years
When the morning comes, I & I would run to get some tea
HerSay dreadlocks you don't come here
To drink pea soup and fatten ooh oh
Chorus
As time and time go by
It's the set for the same everyday
So if you can't do the time don't bother with no crime
Cause the food that you take to save your life can let you lose it the same
Chorus
It's a warehouse of human slavery
And it doesn't help for a person who need a weekly salary
So if your eyes can't be fulfilled and satisfied
A lot more to come and see those chastised mmmmmm yeah
Chorus
Dont' show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
Dont' show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
Take you face from the ground girl, stop wearing frown
I'm not a clown that laughs and jokes, while my structure in smoke
Every man is born of truth, in the natural birth
The things that the 'fari say to do now shows what life really worth
Dont' show I, Don't show I no teeth, teeth can't work
Dont' show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
Dont' show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
She mummy came from a foreign land, with a whole lot of babylon
Now you gone a lucky land
Girl! You've got to prove she lion!
Dont' show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
Dont' show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
You mummy been saying that, woh oh!
When you reach a foreign land
You a get a future paradise
But that noh right, that noh right, that noh right, in a Jah Jah sight
[Michael Rose signature sound]
A weh she say. She really say. She a say.
A weh she really tell Suzy (so she ?) say.
Dont' show I, Don't show I no teeth, teeth can't work

The youths of Eglinton Won't put down their Remington
The youth of Brixton
They leave their 45 Smith and Wesson pistol, pistol
The youth of Utica Avenue
They just can't keep cool
So much gun shot some cripple some turn fool
They are responsible for a lot of children
And they need food and they want to go to school
I say the youth of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say the youth of Kingston
Won't leave their Magnum pistol, pistol
A very thin line to start the crime
Who wlll be the first to volunteer
You love you love your fuckery
Get up and get yourself together
You hear the words of Jah Jah
coming from the hill top of Dabra Dabra
Keep you strength
The youth of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say the youth of Brixton
They put down their 45 Smith and Wesson pistol, pistol
Stop and listen
They want you to fight the good fight
But save you strength
For strength of life
The youths in Africa
All a dem a thriller
I say the youth of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youth of Kingston
Won't leave their Magnum pistol, pistol
Poor Jill she was a spill
she got hit by a stray shot
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youths of Brixton
Black Uhuru- ELEMENTS Lyrics:
I Look up to the sun,
to see if the day is done,
to see my future that lies within.
I Look up to the Sun,
Now the day is done,
the LOVEing night,spread its wings like a Dove.
But in my vision I see:
The tune of melody,
The song we used to sing,
The Joy LOVE can Bring. In my future lies ahead, the struggle of my bread.
The LOVE I feel I think its so ReaLLLL.
I Look up in the stars
it so near yet far,
It gives a Light to the World we live in.
I look up to the moon to see its beauty Gloom,
to see the Brightness of that light.
But in JAH GLORY as you see, the Mystic and Beauty, the Sun, the Moon,the Stars,
it shows LOVE's not far.
In the Nature LOVEing flight, the LOVEing,Peaceful Lark, We shall Live as O1NE from the start.
I look up to the Clouds,
its so high at Ground,
it makes the day as (?????????)
I look up to the Sun,
to see if the day is done,
to see my future that lies within.
But in JAH GLORY as you see,
The tune of melody,
The song we used to sing,
The Joy LOVE can Bring.
In my future lies ahead the struggle for my bread.
The LOVE I feel I think its so Real.
I Look up to the stars its so near yet far.
It gives a Light to the World we Live in.
I look up to the moon to see its Beauty gloom,
to see the Brightness shining on Meeeeee!!!!!!!
You haffe dread to be Rasta
Some little man a imposter
You haffe to dread to be a lion
Some little man ago a Zion
Let me tell you a story
About Rasta
Rasta was born in 1930
By the great patriot, Leonard Howell
Due to philosophy, dem scorn him
Send him to prison, madhouse and kill him
You haffe dread to be Rasta
Some little man a imposter
You haffe to dread to be a lion
Some little man ago a Zion
I traveled the days
When Ion trod through gully
Now some little werewolf
A gwan like skully
Rasta a soldier
So no crossover
You haffe dread to be Rasta
Some little man a imposter
You haffe to dread to be a lion
Some little man ago a Zion
What about the covenant
And our identity
Some man dread because of Bob Marley
Some man dread because dem smoke collie
Some man come with dem own philosophy
Some man come with dem own identity
Nyahbinghi a no breaching
Theocracy a one teaching
You haffe dread to be Rasta
Some little man a imposter
You haffe to dread to be a lion

Civilian warring among each other
Only to achieve their coffin
So I and I stay away in the big apple
And trod it with care though its full of maggots
Cost of living reach the sky
And no ones knows why
It's just revolution time
So Cool off
Cool off the carbine a yard
Cool off cool off the carbine a yard
Be attentive to my call of Jah
I remember days of long ago
These thinge used to poison my people
I am willing
I am concerned
With the works of your own hand
Brings the activity of nature
The morning cause I and I to hear
The loving kindness of Jah
Everytime when I put my trust in Jah never wrong so I say
Cool off
Cool off the carbine a yard
So cool off
Cool off
Don't go a funeral so cool off can't tek the deddas
Cool off cool off the carblne a yard
It's a gunshot season
And we got overstanding
So it's best to qet down and reason
Stop trusting in the abundant of your riches
All you speak of is evolution
It's mind blowinq without direction
And situation objection corruption
Cool off cool off
The carbine a yard
Cool off cool off
The carbine a yard
So I say cool off
Cool off the carbine a yard
There is an understanding
To everything that is seen in existence
Oh as I sit under this weeping willow tree
Pain and sorrow is all that I feel
Deep inside of me its burning out of control
That same sensation You started in my soul.
So, Peace and love in the ghetto
Peace and love in the ghetto, now
Peace and love in the ghetto
Peace and love in the ghetto now
Oh as I sit under this weeping willow tree
Pain and Sorrow is all around me
Woe as I wipe these tears from my eyes
Oh yeah, I realize that Our lives should be free
(Chorus)
Oh as I sit under this weeping willow tree
Never been enchanting the vines of the concrete
Oh as I wipe these tears from my eyes, Oh father
I realize that our lives should be free
(Chorus)
Like a bird in a tree
(Peace and love in the ghetto now)
Mm, Yeah,
I'm holding one tired eye
(Peace and love in the ghetto now)
Steady, Its Free now.
What is life? Life is a spell
What is life? No one can tell
What is life? I try to see
What is life? It's looking bleak
They control the treasure of our birthright
And to survive we have to struggle and fight
The present confrontation of our mind
The flexibility of our vision
What is life? I try to see
What is life? It's unity
What is life? I try to feel
What is life? It's really real
Everyone say they are not excited
While our vineyard exploited
African woman hold me close to you
Help me to find don't get separated
What is life? Life is a treat
What is life? Nothing but cheat
What is life? Life is a test
What is life? Some man Jah bless
They control the pleasure of our birthright
And to survive we have to struggle and fight
The present confrontation of our mind
What a joy to hear the
utterance of a Rasta (Repeat)
Long long ago
They use to say
Rastafari going around
taking little children away
But now tlme is at hand
I and I know those
saying was wrong
And that Rasta let them
know their homeland
And seek their culture
What a joy to hear the
utterance from a Rasta (Repeat)
I and I was granted
To drink from the fountain of life
I God will make I hold tight
I and I knee will not
wabble I and I
a V.I.P international
And now they putting
Rasta on the air
Before that they used
live in fear
What a joy to hear the
utterance of a Rasta (Repeat)
There is a way that
seemeth right to man
And yet in Jah Jah sight it wrong
It's not what you do is
how you do it
It's not what you say
but how you say it
You going be shot with shit
Go down In It
What a joy to hear the
What's the matter, people?

Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams all made real
All of the buildings, all of those cars
Were once just a dream
In somebodys head
She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
She pictures a soul
With no leak at the seam
Lets take the boat out
Wait until darkness
Lets take the boat out
Wait until darkness comes
Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey
Nowhere in the suburbs
In the cold light of day
There in the midst of it so alive and alone
Words support like bone
Dreaming of mercy st.
Wear your inside out
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy(s arms again
Dreaming of mercy st.
swear they moved that sign
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddys arms
Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth
Tugging at the darkness, word upon word
Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box
To the priest-hes the doctor
He can handle the shocks
Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips
Of kissing marys lips
Dreaming of mercy st.
Wear your insides out
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddys arms again
Dreaming of mercy st.
swear they moved that sign
Looking for mercy
In your daddys arms
Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy
Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy

You take the lion From the flag of Afrika,
Because you want to pray to the Dragon
Trodding the other day
On journey so far away to make a
living to see what I could achieve
I saw city state
Places of all human races
They are standing in front of I and I
Working scientifical
advancement to corrupt the mind
Babylon in their little way
Thinking of all the benefits there of
I and I humble lion chant Mount Zion
I am at a pace
Why you scrabbing my face
Some must see they can earn
Cause I and I Black Uhuru

Brimstone burn brimstone burn
Trodding the other day on a
journey so far away away
Trying to make a living to see
what I can achieve
For the benefits of my grief
I saw men worklng seientifical
advancement to corrupt the mind
Babylon is their little way
Brimstone burn brimstone burn
Everything is trial
What I'm a longing for is some happiness (x2)
Happiness is when you share dat love wit one another
Happiness is when you ?? together

Happiness is when you give Jah praises
Happiness is when you livin with the feel of mind, oh yeah

Blessed be the children of man, as numberless as grains of sand
I and I are the living dread, in this here dawn of the living dead
I and I are the living dread, in this here dawn of the living dead
Some building costly in the air
While so many others never get no share
Depriving a human of their rights
It's a crime against the worst
Do I have to tell you about prison
I and I are the living dread, in this here dawn of the living dead
I and I are the living dread, in this here dawn of the living dead
Where minds are decreasing, from a distant culture
Where minds are increasing 'cause we're backing off vultures
I and I are the living dread, in this here dawn of the living dead
I and I are the living dread, in this here dawn of the living dead
I and I living out there, up full and bright
I and I are the living dread in this here dawn of the living dead
I and I art of the Maroon art, taught of the Maroon thought
I and I trod the Maroon trod, in o' desolate places
I and I are the living dread, in this here dawn of the living dead
I and I are the living dread, in this here dawn of the living dead
Are the living dread, dawn of the living dead

Nous sommes les dreads vivants
Parmi l’aube des morts vivants x2
Nos esprit s’avillissent a cause de cette lointaine culture
Nos manieres s’accroissent car nous cedons aux vautours
Refrain x2
Benis soient les enfants de l’homme
Et ensemble nous comprendrons
Beni soient les enfants de l’homme
Aussi peu nombreux que des grains de sables
Refrain x 2
Certains batissent cherement dans les collines
Pendant que tant d’autres ne reçoivent pas leurs du
ils privent un humain des ses droits
c’est un crime des pires, je ne vous parle meme pas de prison
refrain x2
i n i vit là, plein d’espoir et lumineux

Nous sommes des dreads vivants
Nous avons le cœur d’un Maroon
Nous avons l’enseignement d’un Maroon
Nous suivons les chemins des Maroon
A travers des lieux desolés

Don't Throw It All Away (Our Love)
(Originally by Andy Gibbs)
Maybe I don't wanna know the reason why
But lately you don't talk to me
And baby I can't see me in your eyes
I hold you near but you're so far away
And it's losing you I can't believe
To watch you leave and let this feeling die
You alone are the living thing that keeps me alive
And tomorrow if I am here without your love you know I can't survive
Only my love can raise you high above it all
Chorus 4x
Don't throw it all away our love (our love)
Don't throw it all away our love
Don't throw it all away (2x)
We can take the darkness and make it full of light
Let your love flow back to me
How can you leave and let this feeling die
This happy room will be a lonely place when you are gone
And I won't even have your shoulders for the crying on
No other man's love could be as true, I'm beggin you
Chorus
You alone are the living thing that keeps me alive
And tomorrow if I am here without you love you know I can't survive
Only my love can raise you high above it all
(So high... above it all)
Don't throw it all away our love (our love)
Don't throw it all away our love
(So high... above it all)
Don't throw it all away our love (our love)
Don't throw it all away our love
(2x to fade)
Don't throw it all away our love (our love)
Lost in myself once again
An angel falls, the devil walks
There's no inner peace
Look at me you're lost at sea
Circling eternally
Come and help me from this insanity
I'm wearing my disgrace
I hate to see your face
I want to see you drown in your sorrow
You know, I know I'm not the same
I'm fading away, I'm falling into the black
I know that you know we're the same
We're fading away, we're falling into the black
Looking at me through your eyes
My own reflection staring back at you, you're afraid
Now the sea has calmed I'm eased
I have found eternity
Time for you to help yourself from the insanity
No need to feel disgraced
Still hate to see your face
No need to see you drown in your sorrow
You know, I know I'm not the same
I'm fading away, I'm falling into the black
I know that you know we're the same
We're fading away, we're falling into the black
It lets you see, lets you believe
You're hearing what you hear
Nothing's ever what it seems
Now fall into the black
[Solo]
You know, I know I'm not the same
I'm fading away, I'm falling into the black
I know that you know we're the same
We're fading away, we're falling into the black
Fall into the black

(Black Uhuru)
Radio TV news, Crying of a nation
Drugs and child abuse, We say evil rules
Famine, Winds of war, Eternal pollution
What it's all been for, Where it's leading to
Wake up people now, Show you've got some fire
We have everything, Everything to lose
Don't let evil win, Vanity desire
Show them what is good, Show them what is true
(Chorus: Black Uhuru)
Tip of the iceberg
The laws of man design our future
Tip of the iceberg
It's S-O-S earth in distress
Tip of the iceberg
This old new message can't be clearer
Tip of the iceberg
The roll of man called to the test
(Black Uhuru)
Goodness, Helpfulness, These should be remembered
History regret, Nothing we can do
Living laws of man, Walking on a wire
Clean up time is here, Long it's overdue
Now we count to ten, Live our lives together
We all play a part in this puzzle too
(Chorus: Black Uhuru)
(Black Uhuru)
Vision how this world would be, With universal love
Respecting the true right of everyone
Feed the hungry, Help the poor
Free the people, We want more
(Ice-T)
Peace, An interesting concept
A dream world, Where no souls are swept
Under the rug, Just brotherly love
That's why I pray to the heavens above
That someday somewhere we will learn to care
Cause if we don't, Then we should prepare
For certain destruction of this earth we live
People take, But we must learn to give
Black man, White man, Yellow man, Red man
Must understand, The race is hu-man
The earth is ours, The air we all must breathe
Every mountain, Each and every sea
Share, Care, The answer's in there
And if not, We gonna live out a nightmare
As I speak on the streets, Gunshots are heard
It's just the tip of the iceberg
The world is reggae music
Word Sound
Word sound is power
Yeah
The world is reggae music
Word sound
Word sound is power
to the people
Up up up you mighty mighty people
We can acomplish what we want, oh yeah
All we got to do is live
in love and harmony
Catch the freedom train
As it goes rolling on
We don't need no ticket no
When we get on board no no
We don't need no bagage no
Sinner man. Ooo sinner man, sinner man, ...Sinner sinner sinner man ...ummm

Make you real glad and so dutiful
Some things in life are so beautiful
Make you go back again and again
Make you go right back till the end

Black on black, a tasty snack
It's amazing it works
