[Intro]
Yeah, this is state and church, [?] the university
[?]
[?]

[Chorus]
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die

[Verse 1]
Break my backbone while you sitting on your throne
You must be living in a twilight zone, yeah
It's a good thing I'mma tough like a rock stone
Never gonna hear me weep, you'll never gonna hear me moan
Creating all the circumstance
Still you're claiming that a you the one who know response
When the revolutionary man a takes his stand
You Mr. Jacket and tie, it'll make sense, you'll run, no, no

[Chorus]
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die
[Verse 2]
Promise and lies is what I warn
These are the things righteous people a scorn
Prophets a ring the alarm
Tell the heads of government fi cool and fi calm
And if you live by what you should, and you doing what you could
There'll be no bad but good, no no
Living out in Hollywood, not caring 'bout the flesh and blood
You sink in the mud

[Chorus]
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die

[Bridge]
You only govern with your weapon
But them ya things we no depend on
Man a no stool for you fi step on
Me say we trample dopey and the demon, boom!
No join no gang and me no Ku-Klux dem Klan
Listen to the words of a living man
This oppression me don't understand
Are you a creature, beast, are you human, yeah
[Chorus]
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry, while the baby fathers die

[Verse 1]
Break my backbone while you sitting on your throne
You must be living in a twilight zone, yeah
It's a good thing I'mma tough like a rock stone
Never gonna hear me weep, you'll never gonna hear me moan
Creating all the circumstance
Still you're claiming that a you the one who know response
When the revolutionary man a takes his stand
You Mr. Jacket and tie, it'll make sense, you'll run, no, no, yeah

[Outro]
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
