They Can't

They can't kill us all,
They can't kill us all, hey.
They can't, they can't, they can't
They can't, they can't.
This land is for no one man.
Jah, Jah creation is for everyone.
This land is for no one man.
Jah, Jah creation is for everyone.
They can't kill us all,
They can't kill us all, hey.
Now I can see the things,
What they've been doing,
Doing to all of us.
Now I can see the things,
What they've been doing,
Doing to all of us.
Yes they always take too much,
But not from themselves.
Yes they always take too much,
But not from themselves.
They can't kill us all,
They can't kill us all, hey.
No, no, no, no.
And they always say,
Look at the things
They've done for you.
And they always say,
Look at the things
They've done for you.
They weren't thinking
That one day or somehow,
We would understand.
Everyone, every man,
Every woman, every child,
Wants the best in life.
They can't kill us all,
They can't kill us all, hey.
No, no, no, no.
