Won't somebody
Won't somebody
Won't somebody tell me please what's going on
Won't somebody
Won't somebody
Won't somebody tell me please what's going on
With our people
With Jah people
They are playing a dirty trick upon dem
With Jah people
With Jah people
They are trying hard to mislead dem
With our children
With our children
They are trying hard to indoctrinate dem
With our children's
Education
They are trying their best to fool the children dem
Won't somebody
Won't somebody
Won't somebody please tell me what's going on
Somebody
Somebody
Won't somebody tell me please what's going on
Looking around
And I can't understand
I tried to discuss with them
For instance Fort Augustus
I am talking about Alcatraz
They're two prisons of the same kind
One in Jamaica
The other in America
So tell me why really should we see that
Won't somebody
Somebody
Won't somebody tell me please what's going on
Won't somebody
Somebody
Won't somebody tell me about the prisons
Every now and then they take away a man and carry him behind the walls
[Whoa officer]
I just can't understand what's going on
Won't somebody please
Won't somebody
Won't somebody
Won't somebody tell me please what's going on
