Lyrics
Mankind
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.
sometimes I used to sit down and wonder
wonder what is really, really going on
some people are starving, some dying for hunger - all over the world
while others have everything in abundance
Chorus:
mankind, you better know yourself
'cause in time to come it's gonna be dread
mankind, you better know yourself
'cause in time to come it's gonna be dread - dreader than dread
they say the fittest of the fittest, yes they shall survive
give thanks unto JAH 'cause He keeps us alive
ooohh - those things are writen in prophesy
so we don't need none of their, none of their ideology
Chorus
solo
starvation
distruction
ooohhh - desolation
a whole heap a, a whole heap a corruption
in high and low places
Chorus
solo and end
