Misery

They've been waging war and strife, Lord

Oh, we've been taking life for granted, Lord, whoa

Misery hath found a resting place, oh

In the heart and souls of mankind

Oh, Rastafari

So many times natty dread cry

Truth covered in lies

Weeping and wailing, people die

Something in the food

Causing Jah people to go mad

And something with the bullshit

They've been teaching the youngsters

Whoa, wipe our transgressions

Some will die before they make a change

Lord, dwell deep within my heart

They've been waging war and strife, Lord

We've been taking life for granted, Lord

Misery hath found a resting place, oh

In the heart and souls of mankind

I said there's blood upon their shoulders

They've been taking lies

And always try to silence

Ones who speak of truths and rights

Well, no matter your color

Flesh and bone will pass away

We really not that different

La, la-la-la

Natty dread will stay strong

With a desire for peace inside

And equality for every man

I'm the son of a living God, whoa

They've been waging war and strife, Lord

And we've been taking life for granted, Lord

Misery hath found a resting place, oh

In the heart and souls of mankind

If we are gonna move station

Unity has to be foundation

Oh, natty dread

Yes, lift upon your head

Ah, not the time for us to be silent

But a time for us to make strides

Don't be caught in self and play blind

Your heart sees better than your eyesight

They've been waging, waging war, war and strife

We've been taking life for granted, oh, for granted

Misery hath found a resting place, oh

In the heart and souls (Of mankind) heart and souls

Heart and soul, oh

They've been waging war
