[Intro]
There'll be no mercy for the merciless, I know
Mercy for the merciless...

[Chorus]
They're taking advantage of the underprivileged, Jah Jah
Too long living in bondage
Advantage of the situation
I work, you get the promotion
Advantage of the underprivileged, Jah Jah
Too long living in bondage
Taking advantage of the situation
I work, you get the promotion

[Verse 1]
Everyone is looking out for themselves, God knows
They care about no one else, and I know
They work their tricks by giving a little, only to deceive you
Then break your cold little heart in two

[Chorus]
They're taking advantage of the underprivileged, Jah Jah
Too long living in bondage
Advantage of the situation
I work, you get the promotion
Advantage of the underprivileged, Jah Jah
Too long living in bondage
Taking advantage of the situation
I work, you get the promotion

[Verse 2]
It may be long, but not forever
You'll get nowhere in your foolish endeavour
Remember your work shall be your evidence
Jah is watching you from across the fence

[Chorus]
Taking advantage of the underprivileged, Jah Jah
Too long living in bondage
Taking advantage of the situation
I work, you get the promotion
Advantage of the underprivileged, Jah Jah
Too long living in bondage
Advantage of the situation
I work, you get the promotion
[Interlude]
Oh Lord
Hmm, yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
Fret not yourself because of evildoers
Wait a little while and they shall be no more
Get your strength from the One who's got the power, I know
He'll overcome and of that I'm sure

[Chorus]
Taking advantage of the underprivileged, Jah Jah
Too long living in bondage
Taking advantage of the situation
I work, you get the promotion
Advantage of the underprivileged, Jah Jah
Too long living in bondage
Advantage of the situation
I work, you get the promotion

[Verse 1]
Everyone is looking out for themselves, God knows
They care about no one else, and I know
Work their tricks by giving a little, only to deceive you
Then break your cold little heart in two
[Chorus]
They're taking advantage of the underprivileged, Jah Jah
Too long living in bondage
Taking advantage of the situation
I work, you get the promotion
Advantage of the underprivileged, Jah Jah
Too long living in bondage
Advantage of the situation...
