A weh dem a go do when the time comes around

A weh dem a go do when the time comes around

My people are in a mess

But nobody wants to know

Cos when you're down and out and oppressed

You've got to fight your battles

from the lowest of the low

So keep your distance and take your stance

Cos this could be your utmost chance

You've had all night and day to consider and pray

You've brought fire on my head

and now you must pay

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules where my people suffer

Take Rastaman culture for instance

Dem think is political joke

But we people know better then that

Cos what keeps us together is jah Herb that we smoke

I and I know the truth of it all

Cos we have smashed our heads 'Gainst that wall

And now I seh we must create a scene

We must recapture our culture

By any means

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Where my people suffer

Count the times we've been let down

And left us in despair

And woe betide that evil man

Who giveth not a care

You've gotta check yourself just one more time

Reassure your mind

Cos those who are chosen by the father's hand

Must not get left behind

Rasta seh guidance

But Backrah seh different still

Rasta seh guidance

But Backrah seh different still

Rasta seh guidance

But Backrah seh different still

Rasta seh guidance

But Backrah seh different still

Babylon makes the rules but Jah love will carry I home

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules

Babylon makes the rules
