Lyrics

Hey, you keep on doing the same old thing

I keep making the same mistake

So we keep on getting nowhere

Move on for goodness sake

Every time we start and stop

Every time we start and stop

You say that it's all my fault

I say you're the one to blame

We go around in circles

How much more can we take

Every time we start and stop

Every time we start and stop

Only find me happy through a fight

And a try fi spite me

Say meh me no like you

Say meh you no like me

Will we ever get together

No not more than likely

Tell them it's not good to hold a grudge not even slightly

My friend go dead and one a yours dead back

And your friend go dead and one a mine's dead back

The cycle repeat and then a more life drop

Wanna seek them revenge and can't find bread back

Life is not a one way street

Let's find a two way lane

Cause we lost with the direction

So all we do is wait

Every time we start and stop

Every time we start and stop

You try your best not to lose

I try so hard to gain

There's two sides to a story

Let's turn a brand new page

Every time we start and stop

Every time we start and stop

You say that I'm uneducated

And I say educate me

And give me opportunity

You say that I'm lazy

I am underpaid and you don't wanna pay me

Try save a money but your money can't save me

Gas price go down a so it rise up back

Babylon we done you, you fi wise up back

The crime rate go down a so it rise up back

Babylon we done you, you fi wise up back

You find it so hard to stay

And I always want to go

And still there's no solution

Dissension is all we know

Every time we start and stop

Every time we start and stop

We've been through this before

Must we go through this again

It would be a tragedy if we can't

Learn from the past

We might not know where to go

But one thing I know for sure

If we stay still there's no way that we can last

So I'm a knight inna Jah army

King Selassie knight me

You work 9 to 5 and I say I am working nightly

You lock off the sound and I say keep it going lively

You say praise the Lord and I say keep on praising highly

You say lamb to slaughter, I say lion that is mighty

When the sun rise a morning time

Jah bless the blacky and the whitey

Oh good God almighty

Start unifying stop wasting time

Doing the same thing

And making the same mistake

So we keep on getting nowhere

Move on for goodness sake

Every time we start and stop

Every time we start and stop

Every time we start and stop
