Dance With The Devil lyrics We’re born with both evil and good inside Goodness will show but the other will hide Will hide until you sexually awaken Like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden The devil will make you do things you don’t wanna do He will twist your mind so you don’t know what’s right or true If you worship money then you’ll pay the price Your soul will be offered as a sacrifice If you dance with the devil Then you do so at your peril If you dance with the devil Then you do so at your peril Then you do so at your peril He shot John in Dakota As he read ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ He shot Martin in Lorraine He’s happy when the good they die So many killed to satisfy his lust for blood The only thing that can stop him is the Brotherhood of Love You gotta protect your thoughts and your desires Coz the devil he feed on fire You gotta protect your thoughts and your desires Coz the devil he feed on fire If you dance with the devil Then you do so at your peril If you dance with the devil Then you do so at your peril Then you do so at your peril Some may ask is there hope for mankind I see judges judge evil crimes As pity is shown for him in the dock But the suffering of the victim is forgot Is forgot, is forgot, is forgot But the suffering of the victim is forgot Try to do good through trouble and strife Don’t let the devil into your life If you see him coming around You gotta kick the devil right outta town You gotta kick the devil right outta town You gotta kick the devil right outta town You gotta kick the devil right outta town You gotta kick the devil right outta town For if you dance with the devil Then you do so at your peril If you dance with the devil Then you do so at your peril Then you do so at your peril If you dance with the devil Then you do so at your peril If you dance with the devil Then you do so at your peril Then you do so at your peril Dance with the devil Then you do so at your peril If you dance with the devil Then you do so at your peril Then you do so at your peril Then you do so at your peril Then you do so at your peril

Babylon Love lyrics Babylon love, Babylon love, oh Babylon love In the land of creation The well has run dry All the prophets have been stoned Or are flying high There’s no-one to guide or give advice The currency of the street is pure ice It needs to rain down hard from above To wash away this Babylon love This Babylon love, Babylon love The poor are staring above to the stars As the rich they book their next trip to Mars When you have money it’s never enough In this land of Babylonian love Babylonian love The gates of Babylon are closed on you You cannot escape no matter what you do Corruption and bribery are everywhere Those in authority laugh and don’t care Those in authority laugh and don’t care Just don’t care Killings on the streets every day Drugs bought for guns by the C.I.A. A land of confusion is what we got If you run from the police you’ll get shot Life is hard, life is tuff In this land of Babylon love Life is hard, life is tuff In this land of Babylon love Babylon love, Babylonian love Some talk of revolution to free our minds And put those on trial for their crimes But talk of freedom is white man’s bluff Will we ever be free of this Babylonian love? Babylon love is repression and hate Practiced by authority holding the keys to the gate They trick and lie and say we’re as free as a dove But the dove is caged by Babylon love But the dove is caged by Babylon love But the dove is caged by Babylon love But the dove is caged by Babylon love Oh Babylon love

They Shot Bob lyrics In December 1976 Bob cared about music not politics At Bob’s house on Kingston’s Hope Road They were all in band practice mode It was 8.30 and getting late When 2 cars came driving fast through the gate They shot Bob’s wife Rita in the head She survived though they thought she was dead The guard’s they were nowhere to be seen They weren’t there where they should have been Bob had been set up for a fall The writing had long been there on the wall The writing had long been there on the wall The writing had long been there on the wall, on the wall They came downstairs gunning for Bob Don pushed Bob down and lay on top Don he took bullets though he survived Bob was lucky to get outta there alive Bob was lucky to get outta there alive ‘They come fi kill Bob’ one band member shouts It was Bob they wanted to kill without a doubt A bullet grazed his chest and went into his arm Someone phoned the police and raised the alarm The 7 gunmen then drove away No one’s sure who sent them to this day Though at his trial one said ‘It was the C.I.A.’ They executed him, so he couldn’t repeat what he say See I Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy The whole Island shook When they shot Bob And tried to blow him awayyyyyyyyyy The whole Island shook When they shot Bob And tried to blow him awayyyyyyyyyy They didn’t want Bob to sing his songs At the Smile Concert they said was politically wrong There was an election just around the bend Against Castro they said they had to defend Against Castro they said they had to defend The game of politics is cruel and sick Like a cancer that’s spreading quick Bob sang ‘The 3 O’clock Road Block’ About C.I.A. gun trafficking and gun hawks 2 days later Bob sang at the Smile Concert day They could never stop his peace loving ways Not even an evil bullet’s ricochet Bob, forever the conquering lion of reggae See I Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy See I Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy The whole Island shook When they shot Bob And tried to blow him awayyyyyyyyyy See I Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy The whole Island shook When they shot Bob And tried to blow him awayyyyyyyyyy And tried to blow him awayyyyyyyyyy See I See I

Man lyrics The poor are getting poorer And the richer getting richer No one in authority cares There’s pain and sadness everywhere Corruption is feeding the fire Fattening man’s desire When is it all gonna end Brother against brother and friend against friend? There is a cancer blowing through this land Killing everything by its hand When will the time come to take a stand For the cancer in this land Is Man! Is Man! Man feels that he is so superior And that everything else is inferior And that what he thinks is right And if you don’t agree he’ll fight He’ll fight and destroy to win his point of view His murderous intent is nothing new Look back to the beginning of time Back to the Cain and Abel crime Look back to the beginning of time Back to the Cain and Abel crime Killed his brother through jealousy Man’s caged by evil can he ever break free? Protect your children from his evil eye How many still missing have died? There is a cancer blowing through this land Killing everything by its hand When will the time come to take a stand For the cancer in this land Is Man! Is Man! For so long it has endured Can it ever be cured Only by taking away the evil desire By putting out the raging fire So that inner peace can be attained And that the craving for sex and violence will be erased from his brain, from his brain So that only peace and love remains And world harmony can be regained There is a cancer blowing through this land Killing everything by its hand When will the time come to take a stand For the cancer in this land Is Man Is Man For the cancer in this land Is Man The poor are getting poorer And the richer getting richer No one in authority cares There’s pain and sadness everywhere Corruption is feeding the fire Fattening man’s desire When is it all gonna end Brother against brother and friend against friend? There is a cancer blowing through this land Killing everything by its hand When will the time come to take a stand For the cancer in this land The cancer in this land Is Man! The cancer in this land Is Man! The cancer in this land Is Man! Is Man! Is Man!
