Government Land
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Give up the land, government man.
Give up the land.
Give up the land, government man.
Give up the land.
'cause the people,
Ain't got no money, to buy the land.
And if they should go and live on it,
All you do is bulldozer them.
Give up jah land, government man.
Give up jah land.
Give up jah land, government man.
Give up jah land.
'cause all you do is, slave jah people.
By telling them to work and pay rent.
And all the land is on the hillside,
Don't you know? it's unfair.
Give up the land, government man.
Give up the land.
Give up the land, government man.
Give up the land.
How long can you keep up this,
He government man.
You know you can't fool wise man,
You will run away, in the end.
(..)
How long can you keep up this,
He government man.
You know you can't fool wise man,
You will run away, in the end.
Give up jah land, government man.
Give up jah land.
Give up jah land, government man.
Give up jah land.
