Lyrics

Didn't know she was crying

Until now as she turns to look at me

She said, "Boy oh boy, you bring tears to my eyes"

I said, "What?"

She said, "Boy oh boy, you bring tears to my eyes"

Bob Marley said

"How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look?"

Little did he know that eventually

The enemy will stand aside and look

While we slash and kill our own brothers

Knowing that already

They are the victims of the situation

Still licking wounds from brutality

Still licking wounds from humiliation

She said these words

And the wrinkles on her face

Became perfect trail for the tears, then she said

"We are the victims every time

We've got double troubles every time

We are the victims every time

We've got double troubles every time

We are the victims every time

We've got double troubles every time"

She took me outside to the churchyard

Showed me graves on the ground

Then she said

"There lies a man who fought for equality

There lies a boy who died in his struggle

Can all these heroes die in vain?"

While we slash and kill our own brothers?

Knowing that already, they are the victims of the situation

Still licking wounds, from brutality

Still licking wounds, from humiliation

We are the victims every time

We've got double troubles every time

We are the victims every time

We've got double troubles every time

We are the victims...
