[Verse 1]
Why must all people (Why?)
Keep on shooting and robbing (Why?)
Why must must all people (Why?)
Keep on killing and fighting

[Chorus]
No, I
I and I will never try
Listen, no, not I
I and I will never try

[Verse 2]
And why must the rich man (Why?)
Keep on hoarding all the money? (Why?)
And why must this poor man? (Why?)
My living, it ain't very funny

[Chorus]
No, I
I and I will never try
Listen, no, not I
I and I will never
Try to live that way

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
No, not I
I and I will never try
No, not I
I and I will never

[Bridge]
And what did Jah show them? (I and I survive)
Them tried to stop this nation, but (I and I survive)
To chant down creation (I and I survive)
An Israeli nation (I and I)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Try to live that way
So why must I and I want each way? (Why? Oh, why?)
And why must I and I want each way?

[Chorus]
No, not I
I and I will never try
Listen, no, not I
I and I will never try

[Verse 4]
Without any money, I and I survive
Without any food to eat, I and I survive
[Outro]
Why?
Why?
Why?
Oh
Say I and I
Say I and I
I and I survive
Say I and I
Say I and I
I and I survive
