Johnny Clarke - It's the running of the time

How long must I & I suffer
Ina babylon?

Everyday people a crying
Some a say
Can't get no food
Some a say
Can't get no work
It what is happening
On the land
No one's to be playin
Oh no(x3)

And it's the running of the time
It's the running from creation
It's the running up to now
So every man got to stand up
On his two feet

Some a say
It's gettin' harder
Some a say
Dem a go run'way
But I know
I haffi deh ya
To stand on two feet
