Lyrics
The Shun Song
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.
The more you look, the more you see
Love is blind but I can see
Through the curtains of mass deception
Consequences of our decision
All around there is much confusion
As we kneel in anticipation
Of a quick much needed redemption
But still it feels like an illusion
So we hide under religion
as we sigh in resignation
Youths dem have no motivation
To take a walk in the right direction
No leaders to lead the nation
All we got are rulers for dictation
A bunch of sleep-walking population
Who will be the solution?
Ah ah ah ah ah
Little girls with little vision
Watch the TVs and do a replication
No concern for reputation
No concern for retribution
Little boys lie awake in detention
Mischief be dem main occupation
Watch the movies and do a duplication
Women and money and drugs their obsession
And the parents don’t pay much attention
Watch them act up and give them no caution
No regards for our own traditions
Don’t just blame it on colonization
Open your heart to get revelation
Don’t be part of the mass reproduction
There’s more to life than big cars and mansions
Guard against undue manipulation
Ahhh ah ahhhh
Follow me follow me follow me
To a place where there’s
A conscience free for me and you
No tension, no tension
Follow me follow me follow me
To a place where there’s
A conscience free for me and you
No tension, no tension
Ahhh ah ahhh
