THE CLASH: "Armagideon Time"
ARMAGIDEON TIME
stay around don't play around
this old town and all
seems like i got to travel on

a lot of people won't get no justice tonight
the battle is gettin hotter
in this iration, armagideon time
a lot of people runnin and a hiding tonight
a lot of people won't get no justice tonight
remember to kick it over
no one will guide you - armagideon time

Redemption Song--Bob Marley
Old pirates, yes, they rob i;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took i
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the and of the almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say its just a part of it:
Weve got to fulfil de book.
Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! have no fear for atomic energy,
cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say its just a part of it:
Weve got to fulfil de book.
Wont you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

WHAT ???? NOOO Peter Tosh fans here?? Man. I admit, I liked the UB's at one time in the early 80's, but lets face it, they're commercial.
FIGHT APARTHEID
You in a me land
Quite illegal
You're in a me land
Dig out me gold
In a me land
Digging out me pearls
In a me land
Dig out me diamonds
We a go fight(3x) against apartheid
We got to fight(3x) against apartheid
You're in a me land
And you build up your 'partment
You're in a me land
You build up you're regimes
You're in a me land
Only talk 'bout justice
You're in a me land
Handing down injustice
CHORUS
You're in a me land(Precedes each line below)
You no build no school for black children
No hospital for black people
You build your prison
You build their camp
CHORUS
Africa's for black man
Remember
There certain place in Africa
Black man get no recognition
CHORUS
You cross the border
You shoot off the children
Cross the border
Shoot down women
Cross the border
You take your might
Cross the border
To beat for right
CHORUS
As for majority
Majority rule, yea
Who need minority
But that couldn't rule, yea
CHORUS
You break off
Break off from Britain
You're quite illiegal
Right where you are
You get your forces
From colonial powers
Taking my diamonds
Filling ballistic missiles
================
Then of course you have Yellowman, Leroy Smart, Barrington Levy, Horace Andy, Sugar Minott, etc.

I thought Fire Down Below as Bob Seger song. Never heard of no Burning Spear?
Here comes old Rosie, she's looking mighty fine
Here comes hot Nancy, she's steppin' right on time
Here go the street lights, bringin' on the night
Here come the men, faces hidden from the light
All through the shadows, ah they come and they go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
Here come the rich man, in his big long limousine
Here come the poor man, all you got to have is green
Here come the banker, and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
That's when they come and they go (they go)
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
Yea, it happens out in Vegas, it happens in Moline
On the blue blood streets of Boston
Up in Berkeley and out in Queens
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right
And he's looking out for Rosie, she's looking mighty fine
And he's walking the streets for Nancy
And he'll find her every time
And when the street lights flicker, bringing on the night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness, slipping out of sight
All through to midnight
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go (oh go)
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
Oh, burnin' down below
Yea, it happens out in Vegas, happens in Moline
On the blue blood streets of Boston
Up in Berkeley and out in Queens
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right
And he's looking out for Rosie, she's looking mighty fine
And he's walking the streets for Nancy
And he'll find her every time
And when the street lights flicker, bringing on the night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness, slipping out of sight
All through the shadows
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go (oh they go)
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
Oh, they got one thing in common
They got the fire down below
Only got one thing in common
They got the fire down below
One two three
