Lyrics
Fools Die
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 lips of the righteous teaches many
But fools die for want of wisdom
The rich man's wealth is in the city
Vexation of the soul is vanity
Destruction of the poor is their poverty
The poor man's wealth is in a holy, holy place
Why do you fight eachother
Why do you kill your brother
Then your reward will be the cemetery
Then your reward will be the cemetery
We got to build a better nation
Clean up, clean up Jah creation
Or there will be no future for you, you and me
