Any Which Way... Freedom Songtext

ANY WHICH WAY ... FREEDOM

Meanwhile yuh dancin to dis musik
And tryin to figure out these lyrics
Meanwhile yuh drinkin and havin fun
WATCH OUT
De revolution a com

Betta be a part a de solution
Dis mite be di final confrontation
Betta awake to dis reality
Dis is no time to loose yuh sanity
Caussse...

By de ballot or de bullet
By de bible or de gun
Any which way freedom mus com

Killin de children in soweato
Turnin el salvador inna one big ghetto
Dumpin waste on sea and lan
Buildin up arsenal of nuclear weapon
Opressin de haitians
Bombin in iran
Troops in afganistan
There mus be
There mus be
A solution... a revolution

By de ballot or de bullet
By de bible or de gun
Any which way freedom mus com

Now yuh kill i today
Yuh cant kill i tomorrow
Today for you... tomorrow your sorrow
Revolution for de poor a change mus com
Either by de bible or by de gun
A change mus com
A change mus com

By de ballot or de bullet
By de bible or de gun
Any which way freedom mus com

Talkin to u leftist and capitalist
Food clothes and shelter have no politics
De almighty creator belongs to no religion
Ideologies wont bring about a solution
Now turn to yuh psalms in de bible
And show me a.k. 47
Com meck wi fight oppression
Com meck wi fine a solution
Com meck wi fight oppression
Com meck wi start a revolution
There mus be
There mus be
A solution... a revolution

By de ballot or de bullet
By de bible or de gun
Any which way freedom mus com

In nicaragua
In el salvador
In south africa
