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 the people what they want,
Food, clothing and shelter
And reggae music
Reggae music - is sweeter everywhere
Give the people what they want,
Clean air and no pollution
Reggae music - is sweeter everywhere
Some like it in the rubber dub style
Some like it in the rubber dub style
Some like it when the rythm is wild
Some like it when the rythm is wild
Some like it in the one drop style
Some like it in the one drop style
Some like it in the rebel man style
Some like it in the rebel man style
Give the people what they want,
Keep on rising justice
And reggae music
Reggae music - is sweeter everywhere
Some like it in the rubber dub style
Some like it in the rubber dub style
Some like it when the rythm is wild
Some like it when the rythm is wild
Some like it in the one drop style
Some like it in the one drop style
Some like it in the rebel man style
Some like it in the rebel man style
Give the people what they want,
One love and one devotion,
And reggae music,
Reggae music - is sweeter everywhere
