Educated Fools

3 monkeys sittin' under a coconut tree

Discussing things as they are set to be

Said one to the others

Now listen you two

There's a strange rumor that can't be true

They say man was descended from our noble race

But the very idea is a big disgrace

No monkey ever deserted his wife

Or her baby to ruin their lives

YEAH, the monkey's drift is mine.

Educated fools they have ruined di world

And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls

Dem steal all the Africans diamonds and pearls

And start bank it up inna federal reserves

And then Rasta fuck it up and insight riot

Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet

Now dem hear the kick drum di snare and di hi hat

Load up dem belly with some copper shot diet

Imagine after so much chantin and preyers

But a revolutionary situation requires

Mi fi come tear off unno face wid pliers

Surround dem ends with all some burning tires

Round up dem friends and put dem pon trials

Until dem send di reparation dollars

Warning to all di political scholars

Political thieves and political liars

Political cocaine and gun suppliers

Di whole a dem a go down inna flames and fires

Well unno better fly out like some frequent fliers

Bound to feel the wrath of di real Bongonyahs

Hey don't fuck yourself next time you read out di budget

Di government case, ah poor people a judge it

Dem bring di guns but di youths dem ah bust it

Bun dem skeletons weh lock up inna closet

Wipe out dem species and all dem inhabits

With a warm series of pain and havoc

Nah clean no feces fi money prefer grab it

Dem mek mi resort to violence di race get lead up

Somebody nah live up somebody goin dead up

BLOW!! Whole ah di garment dem red up

BLOW!! Car and apartment get bled up

DidnÕt you get ample warning

say poor people fed up

And still every morning

Dem try hold dem head up

Emperor Selassie calling

Youths dem fi dred up

Babylon is fallen

Gun nozzle bend up

Releasing di whole of di youth dem weh pen up

Educated fools they have ruined di world

And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls

Dem steal all the Africans diamonds and pearls

And start bank it up inna federal reserves

And then Rasta fuck it up and insight riot

Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet

Now dem hear the kick drum di snare and di hi hat

Load up dem belly with some copper shot diet

Educated fools they have ruined di world

And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls

Dem steal all the Africans diamonds and pearls

And start bank it up inna federal reserves

Educated Goons

Educated demons

Educated mules

Educated fools
