Why do we live in dread now?
Why do we live in dreeead?

Time is running out that’s why they keep on going faster
They’re driving fancy cars and watch the world turn from their sofa passs fb e effet ci déc frrre
Nothing new on TV the same have fun the same a suffer
XPeople want to breath and they send police in helicopter
They keep on building walls and try to make them higher stronger
The same they’re gonna crash like dummies in a final gesture
Selling fear to people so they feel free to be dcaptured
Something is going wrong


Why do we leave in dread
When we got love instead
We are not living dead
We have to live and to love and to wonder
Why do we leave in dread
When we got love instead
We are not long dead
We have to live and to love and to wonder


Hey David mek we slew di Goliath who dem a play with
Izzy carry di fire a dat mi stay with
Babylone a carry hate a dat dem a pray with
Watch who you lay with
Funds dem a play with
No matter how the youths hungry dem neva share wid
The beast more slippery than the soap dem weh mi bathe wid
Bust Rasta sharper than di razor that dem shave wid


Why do we leave in dread
When we got love instead
We are not living dead
We have to live and to love and to wonder
Why do we leave in dread
When we got love instead
We are not long dead
We have to live and to love and to wonder

Something is wrong and we got to fix it
We are 're the ones who are truly feeling it
Instead of sitting and watching and trying to do something
We all become a victim
Stop the war in the Middle East
Stop the war inna Gaza
what you do in Mama Africa
oh what a saga

Why do we leave in dread
When we got love instead
We are not living dead
We have to live and to love and to wonder
Why do we leave in dread
When we got love instead
We are not long dead
We have to live and to love and to wonder

Yeah (yeah)
We have to wonder (we haffi wonder)
We have to wonder now (we have to wonder)
We have to wonder
We have to wonder
We have to wonder
We have to wonder

Keep the fire burning red
Keep the fire burning red

Living dead

Live and love and wonder
