Midnight to six man
|
for the first time from Jamaica
|
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
|
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator
|
|
Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
|
With backing bands sound systems
|
if they've got anything to say
|
there's many black ears here to listen
|
|
But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right
|
charging from the bass knives to the treble
|
but onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
|
onstage they ain't got no... roots rock rebel
|
|
Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack
|
jones'in won't get you anywhere
|
fooling with your guns
|
the British Army is waiting out there
|
an' it weighs fifteen hundred tons
|
|
White youth, black youth
|
better find another solution
|
why not phone up Robin Hood
|
and ask him for some wealth distribution
|
|
Punk rockers in LA
|
they won't notice anyway
|
they're all too busy fighting
|
for a good place under the lighting
|
|
The new groups are not concerned
|
with what there is to be learned
|
they got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
|
turning rebellion into money
|
|
All over people changing their votes
|
along with their overcoats
|
if Adolf Hitler flew in today
|
they'd send a limousine anyway
|
|
And the all night drug-prowling wolf
|
who looks so sick in the sun
|
and the white man in the Palais
|
But you go lookin' for fun
|
I'm only looking for fun
|
oh please mister, leave me alone
|
and I'm only looking for fun
|
looking for fun
|
(breathing)
|
ow!
|
