Equal Rights Songtext

von Peter Tosh

Everyone is crying out for peace yes
None is crying out for justice
(2x)

I don't want no peace
I need equal rights and justice(3x)
Got to get it
Equal rights and justice
(CHORUS)

Everybody want to go to heaven
But nobody want to die
Everybody want to go to up to heaven
But none o them(2x) want to die

CHORUS
Just give me my share

What is due to Caesar
You better give it on to Caesar
And what belong to I and I
You better(2x) give it up to I

CHORUS
(I'm fighting for it)

Everyone heading for the top
But tell me how far is it from the bottom
Nobody knows but
Everybody fighting to reach the top
How far is it from the bottom

CHORUS

Everyone is talking about crime
Tell me who are the criminals
I said everybody's talking about crime, crime
Tell me who, who are the criminals
I really don't see them

CHORSU

There be no crime
Equal rights and justice(Precedes each line below)
There be no criminals
Everyone is fighting for
Palestine is fighting for
Down in Angola
Down in Botswana
Down in Zimbabwe
Down in Rhodesia
Right here in Jamaica
