Hey, tax war, war over yah
Hey prime minister see it and watch out
People a ball who di sufferer
So the emperor haffi chant down babylon
No man is an island so tell me what you say
Excellence we tired of no rent today
Don't down the patti boy and no food no di death
So we walking blindfolded pon di edge
I see my people trying through their mind
The paradise surround depon prime time
Looting, extortion, stealing and raping, victims abused by the evil man
Police and bad mind, whose the criminal
The one with the guns or the ones with the badge?
The big area don on the super message
We dead outta gun and dem a live large
War,war over yah
Hey prime minister see it and watch out
People a ball who di sufferer
So the emperor haffi chant down babylon
Big tax dem to I so movement cant give up
The bridge start shake up, the post start crack up
The water too rough so we get the plan jacked
Its a shark attack government turn their back pon we
We aggo suffa, we tough like a rock but we step pon butter
It will get betta yeh

100 Degrees and we wearing sweata
War,war over yah
Hey prime minister see it and watch out
People a ball who di sufferer
So teh emperor haffi chant down babylon
If I was a politican I would help my people out listening to the voice of who can shout
But now things get rough and the world can be hard so it go and jam dem down
War over yah
Hey prime minister see it and watch out
People a ball who di sufferer
So the emperor haffi chant down babylon
Yes prime minister, all I see is war
Yes prime minister
All I see is war
