[Chorus]
Yow....String dem up and hang dem up alive
Bare batty man come round yah a brive....yow

Couldn't mamma earth dema try fi deprive ....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Full time now yu burn out di dutty vibe....yow

[Verse 1]
Last week mi hear say dat di boy go tek a dive
Which part im dive inna di one Rocky Price
Im see di two half an nyam it from both side
Big thunder ball and him head jus collide
Dis mamma earrth and you know u head goin divide
Mi sey early inna de morning all a next man a rise
Rub nose to nose and all a lash eye to eye
Stiff necked fool a full time dem got wise
[Chorus]
Yow....String dem up and hang dem up alive
Bare batty man come round yah a brive....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Couldn't mamma earth dema try fi deprive ....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Full time now yu burn out di dutty vibe....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Dis mamma earth sey none cyann survive
[Verse 2]
True mi sey it obvious and if dem neva sadamite dem

So mi sey it obvious and if dem neva corrupt dem wouldn't write it off
Bun b---y man only b---y man vex

But if im bun Rex mi cyaan sey a who vex

[Chorus]
Yow....String dem up and hang dem up alive
Bare batty man come round yah a brive....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Couldn't mamma earth dema try fi deprive ....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Full time now yu burn out di dutty vibe....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Dis mamma earth sey none cyann survive
[Verse 3]
Den a mek yuh tan so and a mek yu gwaan so
An rastafari neva teach you fi live so
Den a mek yuh tan so and a mek you gwaan so
an di Bobo youth dem neva teach you fi stay so
Disillusion, confusion, temptation, corruption
A deh so dem deh, a deh so dem de
We nuh eat whe dem a eat, we nuh sleep whe dem a sleep
Cause a deh so dem deh, a deh so dem deh
We nuh tink how dem a tink
An wi nuh link how dem a link
Cause a deh so dem deh, a deh so dem deh
We nah go dung deh
A bare ba--y man mi hear sey come from dung deh
Bare sadamite mi hear sey vilate dung deh
Bare obeah man mi hear sey heng out dung deh
Bare informer buy out dung deh
Han mi di fire mek mi bun out dung deh
[Chorus]
Yow....String dem up and hang dem up alive
Bare batty man come round yah a brive....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Couldn't mamma earth dema try fi deprive ....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Full time now yu burn out di dutty vibe....yow
String dem up and hang dem up alive
Dis mamma earth sey none cyann survive
