Chorus
: Eh-yah!
Everybody run run run
Everybody scatter scatter
Some people lost some bread
Someone nearly die
Someone just die
Police they come, army they come
Confusion everywhere
Chorus
: Eh-yah!
Seven minutes later
All don't cool down, brother
Police don't go away
Army don't disappear
Them leave sorrow, tears and blood
Chorus
: Them regular trademark!
Them leave sorrow, tears and blood
Them regular trademark
That is why
Chorus
: Eh-yah!
Everybody run run run
La la la la
My people self they fear too much
We fear for the thing we no see
We fear for the air around us
We fear to fight for freedom
We fear to fight for liberty
We fear to fight for justice
We fear to fight for happiness
We always get reason to fear
We no want die
We no want wound
We no want quench
We no want go
I get one child
Mama dey for house
Papa dey for house
I want build house
I don't build house
I no want quench
I want enjoy
I no want go
Ah!
So policeman go slap your face
You no go talk
Army man go whip your yansh
You go they look like donkey
Rhodesia they do them own
Our leaders they yab for nothing
South Africa they do them own
Them leave sorrow, tears and blood
Ah, na so
Time will they go
Time no wait for nobody
Like that: choo, choo, choo, choo, ah
But police go they come, army go they come
With confusion
In style like this:
