Stiff-necked fools, you think you are cool
|
To deny me for simplicity.
|
Yes, you have gone for so long
|
With your love for vanity now.
|
Yes, you have got the wrong interpretation
|
Mixed up with vain imagination.
|
|
So take Jah Sun, and Jah Moon,
|
And Jah Rain, and Jah Stars,
|
And forever, yes, erase your fantasy, yea-eah!
|
|
The lips of the righteous teach many,
|
But fools die for want of wisdom.
|
The rich man's wealth is in his city;
|
The righteous' wealth is in his Holy Place.
|
|
So take Jah Sun, and Jah Moon,
|
And Jah Rain, and Jah Stars,
|
And forever, yes, erase your fantasy, yeah!
|
Destruction of the poor is in their poverty;
|
Destruction of the soul is vanity, yeah!
|
|
So stiff-necked fools, you think you are cool
|
To deny me for simplicity, yea-ea-eah!
|
Yes, you have gone - gone for so long
|
With your love for vanity now.
|
|
But I don't wanna rule ya!
|
I don't wanna fool ya!
|
I don't wanna school ya:
|
Things you - you might never know about!
|
|
Yes, you have got the wrong interpretation
|
Mixed up with vain - vain imagination:
|
Stiff-necked fools, you think you are cool
|
To deny me for, o-ooh, simplicity. [fadeout]
