In your eyes is judgement, in the region...
I chant down Babylon, right now
Chant down wicked man, right now
Come mek we chant down Babylon, right now
Them and the wickedness, right now
For the Babylon them a fight
Against the ganjaman
The ganjaman in a Babylon
Happens to be the righteous one
I chant down Babylon, right now
Beat down wickedness, right now |

committed abominable works |

But they can

Guiltiness, abundant, wickedness (here this year)
We chant down Babylon, right now
Beat down wicked man, right now
Chant down wicked man, right now
Fight down wickedness
For the people them a starve
Innocent man back against the wall
And the wicked man a ball
But that isn't all
I chant down wicked men, right now
Fight down the wickedness, right now
Stop lasciviousness, right now
Eliminate the wickedness, right now
Oh what a world
What a miserable place, man
I man try hard fe live, Rasta, but chah!
I fight the wicked men, right now
Fight them to the end, right now
Rasta, them a no friend, right now
For they are turning back
Their minds at the back of the track
It seems them must a crack
The whole a them a sniff the rock
Chant down Babylon, right now
Beat down the wickedness, right now |
