Bob Marley Lyrics "Real Situation"

[wodasi]

from one of his last albums 79-80

Real Situation ( Bob Marley )

Check out the real situation:
nation fight against nation
Where did it all begin?
When will it end?
well it seems like: total destruction the only solution
and there ain't no use: no one can stop them now
ain't no use: no one can stop them now

give them an inch, they take a yard
give them a yard, they take a mile (ooh)
once a man twice a child
and everything is just for a while
it seems like: total destruction the only solution
there ain't no use: no one can stop them now

repeat


there ain't no use: no one can stop them now
Everybody strugglin: ain't no use-ain't no use
ain't no use you even try
ain't no use got to say bye bye
ain't no use: no one can stop them now

I like Bob Marley & The Wailers' Babylon System, off Survival.

We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be;
We are what we are:
That's the way (way) it's going to be. You don't know!
You can't educate I
For no equal opportunity:
(Talkin' 'bout my freedom) Talkin' 'bout my freedom,
People freedom (freedom) and liberty!
Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!

Babylon system is the vampire, yea! (vampire)
Suckin' the children day by day, yeah!
Me say: de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yea-ea-ea-ea-e-ah!
Building church and university, wo-o-ooh, yeah! -
Deceiving the people continually, yea-ea!
Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers;
Look out now: they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers).
Yea-ea-ea! (sufferers)

Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth right now!
Come on and tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Come on and tell the children the truth.

'Cause - 'cause we've been trodding on ya winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
And we've been taken for granted much too long:
Rebel, rebel now!

(Trodding on the winepress) Trodding on the winepress (rebel):
got to rebel, y'all (rebel)!
We've been trodding on the winepress much too long - ye-e-ah! (rebel)
Yea-e-ah! (rebel) Yeah! Yeah!

From the very day we left the shores (trodding on the winepress)
Of our Father's land (rebel),
We've been trampled on (rebel),
Oh now! (we've been oppressed, yeah!) Lord, Lord, go to ...
