Johnny Clarke - Declaration Of Rights

Look, how long they, brought us down here
Have us in bondage, right through these years
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your rights, my brothers
Get up and fight for your rights, my sisters

Took us away from, civilization
Brought us to slave in this, big plantations
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your rights, my brothers
Get up and fight for your rights, my sisters

(..)

Took us away from, civilization
Brought us to slave in this, big plantations
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your rights, my brothers
Get up and fight for your rights, my sisters
Get up and fight for your rights, my brothers
Get up and fight for your rights, my sisters
Get up and fight for your rights, my brothers..
