We no know how we and dem a-go work this out, oy!

We no know how we and dem a-go work it out.

But someone will 'ave to pay

For the innocent blood

That they shed every day,

Oh, children, mark my word;

It's what the Bible say, yeah! yeah!

Oh, we no know how we and dem a-go work this out;

We no know how we and dem a-go work it out.

But in the beginning Jah created everythin' (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh),

Givin' man dominion over all things.

But now it's too late,

You see, men has lost their faith (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh), hey-ey-hey!

Eating up all the flesh from off the earth, eh!

We no know how we and dem a-go work this out (we no know);

We no know how we and dem a-go work this out (no, we don't know);

Dub-da-dub-da-dub!

Dub-a-dippidi-doop-de-doo!

Nim-a-nummany num-na-noo!

Num-a-nummana-num-da-nay!

Dippy-dippy-dippy: dip-de-dub-de-day!

Dip-a-dubbada-dub-da-day!

But I say: we no know how we and dem a-go work it out:

them a flesh and bone!

We no know how we and dem a-go work it out.

But we now have no friends

In-a high society, yea-a-eah!

We no have no friends;

Oh, mark my identity;

We no have no friends. Oh-oh! Yeah!

We no know how we and dem a-go work this out (no, we no know);

We no know how we and dem a-go work this out (we no know);

We no know how we and dem a-go work it out (no, we don't know);

(We no know how we and dem a-go work this out.) Rasta!

(We no know how we and dem a-go work this out.) Ilyabom! /fadeout/
