Redemption Song
Bob Marley
Composição: Bob Marley

Old pirates, yes, they rob I,
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottom less pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing,
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs!

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look
Huh, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to ful fill the Book

Won't you help to sing,
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs!

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Oh, have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a-the time
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to ful fill the Book

Won't you help to sing,
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs,
All I ever had:
Redemption songs!
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom!

Real Situation
Bob Marley
Composição: Bob Marley

Check out the real situation
Nation war 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 nobody can stop them now

Give them an inch they take a yard
Give them yard they take a mile
Once a man and twice a child
And everything is just for a while
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
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now

Check in the real situation
Check it out, check it out
Nation fight against nation
Where did it all begin, where will it end.
Well it seems like total destruction
The only solution
No use can't stop them
Ain't no use can't stop them
Ain't no use no one can't stop them now
Can't stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
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
No one can stop them now

You got the dog race
You got the human-race
But this is a rat race, rat race

Seen many visions, in a this yah armageddon

So shall it be in this iwa (time)
And they fallen in confusion
Well a just a step from Babel Tower
Rastaman live up, Congoman no give up (Repeat)

Grow your dreadlocks
Don't be afraid of the wolf pack
A tell you, one man a walking
And a billion man a sparking

Rastaman live up, Bingyman don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up

Punky punky punk
THE FARTS

New wave, new phrase
New wave, new craze

Going to a party
And i hope you are hearty
So please don't be naughty
For it's a punky reggae party

New wave, new phrase
New wave, new craze

It takes a joyful sound
To make the world go round
Come with your heart and soul
Come and rock your bone

It's a punky reggae party
And it's tonight
It's a punky reggae party
And it's alright

What did you say?

Rejected by society
Treated with impunity
Protected by my dignity
I search for reality

New wave, new craze
New wave, new wave, new phrase

I'm saying...
The wailers will be there
The damned, the jam, the clash
Maytals will be there
Dr. feelgood too

No boring old farts, no boring old farts, no boring old farts
Will be there!
No boring old farts, no boring old farts, no boring old farts
Will be there!

Well it's a punky reggae party
And it's tonight
It's a punky reggae party
And it's alright

A tip from a gypsy
She said "man you're getting tipsy"
Hiding from reality
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
