Rumors

Deep in the countryside lives a man
Think he knew more than any harm
He could pray for sun or rain
He was vain droughed three little games
In the country lived an old woman
She worn enough of the countryside
Say life offers worse up anymore
Oh oh
It dig my head, but you lack my feelings
Dig my feelings, but you couldn't hurt my soul
Now you talked to someone flesh can grow older
Can reveal your rock and roll.
How come the people of today believe in rumours
Oh my people don't you believe in rumour
Spreading rumours all over town
That they want and wanna throw i down
Some was glad, some was sad
Some was easy, some was bad
How come the people believe in rumours
How gotta the people always believe in rumours
Never did know time proove for yourself
This is never no time proove it by yourself
How come my people believe in rumour
How come my people believe in rumours
They spreading rumours all over town
For what they look up cause them gonna let theirselves down
Cause i have strucked my life upon the rock
I'll never turn back
How come my people believe in rumour
How come my people of to... Believe in rumours
Never have time to listen if you are gonna booze
They always keep bringing bad bad booze
As you shall judge one another you shall judge yourself
Don't fight your finger brothers, if your hands not clean
As if it is not so, it shall return shall upon you
Nothing you can do to escape in this time
How come my people believe in rumour
Just like their soul Joseph way down in Egypt
Just like they crucified Christ way down in Egypt
As the brothers of his brothers way down in Egypt
Way down in egypt land way down in egypt
How come the people believe in rumour
How come the people always believe in rumours
They have no time to cook for themselves
Have no time to rule for themselves
But due to their caresses they fight i down
They want to wipe my feat from off the ground
But Jah Is I strength
But Jah is I fortress
So men and people dig your frail for rest
How come my people believe in rumours
How come my people always believe in rumours
They starve my brothers now
So they could use them
They starve the people
But i a wanna rule them
Thy don't know what's happening
They don't know
They want to turn back underty of prophecy
They want to turn back underty of prophecy
How come my people believe in rumour
How come my people believe in rumour
They want to turn back underty of prophecy
They want to turn back
No you can turn away ther hand of time
No you can turn away ther hand of time
Better to see and be humble than to be blind and mighty
The biggest man you ever did see was just a baby
