A letra:
Jah
would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the
dread
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Think
you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven
but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living
in hell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
You think you're in
heaven but you're living in hell
Back them up, oh not the brothers
But
the ones, who set them up
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Think
you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven
but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living
in hell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
You think you're in
heaven but you're living in hell
Sold my ticket, run and go
Sold man
to the ground
Sold man, take a man pride
Oh children weep no
more
Oh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Saw you settle
the score
Oh children weep no more
Weep no more, children weep
no more
Jah would never give the power to a
baldhead
Run come crucify the dread
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Think
you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven
but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living
in hell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Think you're in heaven
but you're living in hell
