Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No, no brother Joe
No more
[Verse 2]
Just can't take it no longer, Uncle Joe
Oh, gosh, you're squeezin' my toe
Just can't take it no longer, Uncle Joe, now
Now, now
Oh gosh, you're squeezin' my toe, yeah
[Verse 3]
Your reform institution
Wanna set my mind in an illusion, yeah
And I don't like your system, so, I won't be a victim
Oh-no, oh-no, no, no, no, no-no-no
Oh-no, no, no, no, Uncle Joe
[Verse 4]
Turn me loose
Don't try to kill the goose
This life is not for me, in your G.P.
No, no brother Joe
[Verse 5]
No, Joe
No, no, no-no-no
Oh gosh, no, now, squeezin' my toe
Got to let me go
Only Jah-Jah know
[Verse 6]
Brother Joe
You're squeezin' my toe
[Verse 7]
Your reform institution, yeah
Wanna put my mind in an illusion
But, no
And I don't like your system
So I won't be a victim
No more, no more
No, no, no-no-no
No more, Joe, no, no, Uncle Joe
Set me free, yeah, ooh-wee
[Verse 8]
Ain't gonna stay around no longer
No, now
