See them coming, plain in clothes, plain in clothes

Don't give up, don't give up
The Roman soldiers of Babylon, are here to fight us
Don't give up, don't give up
The Roman soldiers of Babylon are right behind us

Comin' from the North with their pockets full of ammunition
Tryin' to turn dreadlocks into politician

Marcus Garvey did say:
"Things like this would happen in this time."
Oh yes!

So don't give up, don't give up
The Roman soldiers of Babylon, are here to fight us
See dem comin'!
So don't give up, don't give up
The Roman soldiers of Babylon are here to fight us
Look out!

They're in plain clothes!

They're comin' to fight Rastafari..
But they can't beat the wisdom, of Selassie I
Rastafari! Rastfari will blow, will blow them away
Rastafari will blow them away
