[Intro: Capleton]

[Chorus: Capleton]
Well a bare war, war, war badness
War, war, war badness
War, war, war sadness

[Verse 1: Sizzla]

Bun vampire lightning come fi chase
Through dem lean dem bout fi get straighten

Through mi seh di babylon a free mason, free mason
Yeah, dem same one did slave us

(Capleton)
Too much brains ah fly out
Waan mek di youth dem die out
War boat well gwine dry out
Too much brains ah fly out
Waan mek di youth dem die out
Too much innocent ah die out
Too much brains ah fly out
Waan mek di youth dem die out
War boat well gwine dry out
Too much brains ah fly out
Innocent youth ah die out
Then mi bun a different guy out

[Chorus: x2 Sizzla]

[Verse 2: Capleton]
Too much innocent life ah go down
Too much innocent youth ah go underground
Most a di money from missile and gun
Serious mi serious and nuh tek this fi fun
When these wars and di folly it will done?
Righteousness di ghetto youth bring come
Mek mi hear da tune yah from mi nyahbinghi drum
Blaze up di fiyah mek it bun
Right yah now

(Sizzla)
Dem violence, negative dem
Yuh see di war is dem biggest business, then?
This and that come down in a shipment
Dem build di prison and a dig more pit dem
No school no hospital fi uplift dem
Babylon go astray, I gon' whip dem
Di sheep go astray, I gwine switch dem
Mek dem know dem nuh fi diss then

[Chorus: x2 Sizzla]

[Verse 3]
Babylonians yuh nah go love da tune yah
Nah go love Selassie sun nor Him moon yah
Dem nuh love fi see when di fruit trees all bloom
Dem don't want no black man inna dem white class room
Hey Babylon come mek I buh yuh with di fiyah
Dutty Vatican come mek I bun yuh with di fiyah
Hey Pentagon come mek I bun yuh with di fiyah
Hey Washington come I bun yuh with di fiyah

(Capleton)
Burn man a burn man a burn dem hot
Blaze man a blaze man a blaze dem hot
Burn man a burn man a burn dem hot
Bun dem war and fool fool combat
Come again! (x2)

[Chorus]
