lyrics

When di trumpet sound
It's Pressure Busspipe
Jah Tung!

Worldwide revolution
Can’t hide behind illusion
Feels like we’ve seen this happen before

Worldwide revolution
We rewrite di constitution
This time we nah go take it no more

Seem everyday’s the same
Same headline with a different name
Same system weh ya take di blame
But me never say dem a responsible

Time after time dem a show no shame
No remorse for di hurt and pain
Me tired ya fi sing the same old refrain
But right deh now rejoicing impossible

Worldwide revolution
Can’t hide behind illusion
Feels like we’ve seen this happen before

Worldwide revolution
We rewrite di constitution
This time we nah go take it no more

Preying on di innocent
Cold blooded murderer don’t repent
Badge, uniform with a gun 'pon belt
But enough is enough
So we want an indigenous government

What could’a dem defend?
And are we really in a commonwealth?
See how dem live up inna opulence
While we struggle fi a twenty cents

Worldwide revolution
Can’t hide behind illusion
Feels like we’ve seen this happen before

Worldwide revolution
We rewrite di constitution
This time we nah go take it no more

(Pressure Busspipe)
Babylon a give we a fight
The Aboriginal people must haffi strive
Emperor Selassie I, H.I.M govern the heights
Pressure Busspipe defend the human rights

Some no have no vision, yet them carry eye sight
Revolution kick off, warriors inite
Burn dem with di fire, me no business who like
Spread your propaganda 'pon your radio satellite

Never out and it nah cease, nah settle
Wicked Babylon a play Heckle and Jeckle
Dem a throw stone, when me check seh it's a pebble
Everything nah level, when di youths no comfortable

Hotter than di water inna di kettle
Wicked Babylon you can't sink my vessel
Emperor Selassie I put foot 'pon di missile
Wicked Babylon your head chisel, that's why

This is a worldwide revolution
Can’t hide behind illusion
Feels like we’ve seen this happen before

Worldwide revolution
We rewrite di constitution
We can't take it no more

Well this is Jah Tung alongside Pressure Busspipe
Sending Raspect to all First Nations peoples
No matter which part you there
One Heart!
