Iron Lion Zion

Eh! I am on the rock
And then I check a stock
I have to run like a fugitive
To save the life I live
I'm gonna be iron like a lion in Zion
I'm gonna be iron like a lion in Zion
Oh, yeah! Iron, lion, Zion - lion, Zion!
I'm on the run
But I ain't got no gun
See, they want to be the star,
So they fightin' tribal war,
And they saying, "Iron like a lion in Zion
Iron like a lion in Zion
Iron, lion, Zion!"
I'm on the rock-a,
Seel-ya-bub, I take a stock,
I had to run like a fugitive, good Lord!
Just to - just to save the life I live. Oh, now!
I'm still - I'm gonna be Iron like a lion in Zion
(What did I say?) I'm gonna be Iron like a lion in Zion
What did you say? Iron, lion, Zion!
I'm on the run,
But I don't got no gun
See, my brothers wanna be the stars,
So they fighting tribal war,
And they saying, "Iron like a lion in Zion."
Wo! Lion like iron a Zion!
Eel-ya-bub-a, Iron, lion, Zion. Yeah, now, now!
Iron, lion, Zion! I'm on the run! (I'm on the run)
Iron, lion, Zion!
