Max Romeo
Stealing in the Name of Jah
[Chorus]
Stealing, stealing, stealing
Stealing, stealing
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 1]
My father's house of worship
Has become a den of thieves
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 2]
They fed our mothers with sour grapes
And set our teeth on edge
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 3]
Strike the hammer of justice
And set my people free
Strike the hammer of justice
Or let my people be
[Verse 4]
They tell us of a heaven
Where milk and honey flow
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 5]
They said, this place called heaven
The rich man cannot go
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Verse 6]
Yet the reverend drives a fancy car
Buys everything tax free
The people have to sacrifice
To give in charity
[Verse 7]
My father's house of worship
Has become a den of thieves
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Chorus]
Stealing, stealing, stealing
Stealing, stealing
Stealing in the name of the Lord
[Outro]
Stealing, stealing, stealing
Stealing, stealing
Stealing in the name of the Lord
