Lyrics

Babylon cheatin' on the poor
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
Highway robbery, oh, robbery
Why are you cheatin' on the poor? (Woah-oh)
Everyday, you want more and more
You are stealin' from the poor, what more?
So many children sleepin' outdoor
Who no have no bed, have to sleep on the floor
See mommy workin', workin', 'til she can't work no more
See daddy workin', oh, workin', 'til his hands are sore
Highway robbery, oh, robbery
Why are you robbin' from the poor man?
Babylon (Babylon, man)
Stop downpress, stop downpress
Minority, yow, big bad society
Oh, no
Highway robbery, oh, robbery
Why are you robbin' from the poor?
War ain't the only solution
To liquidate this pollution
Annihilate this corruption
Inna this year revolution (Hey)
Highway robbery, oh, robbery
Why are you robbin' from the poor?
Jah the boss, everyday
You want more, more and more
You steal more than before, what more? (Hey)
Man still in prison waitin' to be free
Some man kill their brothers through lust and greed
Material gain mesmerizin' them brains
The innocent gets the blame
While the evil men remain the same
Highway robbery, yay
Oh, why, oh, why, why you downpress the poor man?
Tryin' to prove that you are Joe the boss man
How you fi do dat?
