Whole heap of youth turn to crime
I want to know if it really the time
Some of dem get wanted
Have fi bleed pon the bandung line (Hey!)
Some of dem have M16
Automatic pistol with magazine (Hey!)
Whole heap of crowd gather around
A little boy, him lie dead on the ground (Hey!)

Now there is a security post
All of dem gather around
Whole heap of man run and gone (Hey!)
Jah know, said, dem (Hey!)
As one dead, another one born
Whole heap of dem dead, full up of gun (Hey!)
Give mi weh mi want, make mi gwan

Jah know, it's a disgrace
Innocent youth face all over the place (Hey!)
When you see suffering and marrows
Jah know, that it bring forth sorrow (Hey!)
Mi still live fi see tomorrow
