Lyrics
Wrong Thing
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.
all they do is just pray
and they cry every day
all they do is just pray
and they sigh more and more
every day my people going to the church
and the living seems worst and worst
they talk about marcus garvey prophecy
and they don't know their own history
all they do is just say
the wrong thing all over
all they do is just think
the wrong thing all over
fire lightning thunder
a go burn you babel
don't matter where you hide
you can't hide from the wrong
that you have dun
you a go back up pan yourself
you better pray good
talk about the troubles i bear
with my brethren we all will share
equality and justice stands for all
who know this satan queendom must fall
fire lightning and thunder a go burn you
don't matter where you are
