The Leaders Speak Songtext

von Mutabaruka

A was sittin' by mi self one day
Wanderin' wat de leaders woulda say
If God ome fi him earth rite away

Now listen God a 'ave a plan
Ospone Judgement da
A jus discover a new weapon
Give us more time yuh nuh si
Wi jus learn how fi meck test tube baby

Yes dem leaders woulda really ketch hell
All a dem wid a story fi tell

About de war in de Middle East
Wi 'ave wi soldiers a keep de peace
We de KGB and de CIA 'ave a plan
How fi sekkle tings in de Caribbean
A mean check any grendian
About dem present situation
An' like dow de poor caw teck nuh more
Wi naw give dem nuh fi sure

Yes dem leaders really inna mess
Dem salvation gettin' less an' less

Tings like drought an' famine nuh badda wi agen
A your fault dat God a you controle de rain
But if nuh rain nuh fall fi de nex seven years
Wi 'ave enough maddas wid lat a tears
God everyting is airtite suh far
But wi still a try figa how yuh meck de star

Yes dem leaders woulda really ketch hell
All a dem wid a story fi tell

Yes God wi really woulda like fi si
How yuh bolw life inna wi
An' annadda ting would meck tings rite
Please God tell wi how fi stop de nite.
