Equal Rights

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.

Everyone is crying out for peace, yes

None is crying out for justice

Everyone is crying out for peace, yes

None is crying out for justice

I don't want no peace

I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice

Got to get it

Equal rights and justice

Everybody want to go to heaven

But nobody want to die

Everybody want to go to up to heaven

But none o them, but none o them want to die

I don't want no peace

I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice

Got to get it

Equal rights and justice

(Just give me my share)

What is due to Caesar

You better give it on to Caesar

And what belong to I and I

You better, you better give it up to I

I don't want no peace

I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice

Got to get it

Equal rights and justice

(I'm fighting for it)

Everyone heading for the top

But tell me how far is it from the bottom

Nobody knows but

Everybody fighting to reach the top

How far is it from the bottom

I don't want no peace

I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice

Got to get it

Equal rights and justice

Everyone is talking about crime

Tell me who are the criminals

I said everybody's talking about crime, crime

Tell me who, who are the criminals

I really don't see them

I don't want no peace

I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice

Got to get it

Equal rights and justice

There be no crime

Equal rights and justice

There be no criminals

Everyone is fighting for

Palestine is fighting for

Down in Angola

Down in Botswana

Down in Zimbabwe

Down in Rhodesia

Right here in Jamaica
