Lyrics

The sound's call "The Bionic Dread"
Dis a dread, said, him heavier than lead
Di other dread, said, him dreader than dread (Bionic)
Di natty dread are bionic
Babylon cyaan stand it
Di natty dread are bionic
Di babylon cyaan stand it
Mi said, him lick up him challis an' him cyaan have malice (Bionic)
Mi said, him drink up him tonic and him cyaan not panic (Bionic)
Say, di natty dread, dem plan it
Di babylon cyaan stand it
Just di other day natty dread feel like him want to get a swim
To swim across the ocean
Dreadlocks swim across the ocean
Dreadlocks swim across the ocean
'Cause, him a bionic (Yeah)
All of dem are swimming back up on Titanic
Di dread shoot Titanic
'Cause, him a bionic, 'cause, him a bionic
Say, natty dread, dem plan it
Babylon kind a psychedelic
Di babylon psychedelic
But, di dread, dem bionic
Say, di babylon psychedelic
Babylon psychedelic like dem a electric, I would say
So, ride on, so, ride on
Seh, natty dread push Titanic
Cah, di dread are bionic
Said, him drink fish tea an' him feel so fit
Him eat roast fish, said, di dread, dem dish
Di dread are bionic
Di babylon cyaan stand it
Dread plan it, dread plan it, dread plan it
To overthrow babylon
Babylon shameful
Babylon wall shall crumble like the wall of Jericho, I would say
Bionic, bionic, bionic, don't panic, you drink tonic, drink tonic
You know
Di babylon psychedelic
An' di natty dread bionic
Say, di natty dread bionic
Say, di natty dreadlock a plan it
Di babylon cyaan stand it
Dem have fi love it, dem have fi rub it, dem have fi rub it
