Johnny Dread - Socialist (Feat. Prince Patrick) Lyrics

 
There’s a hole in my heart
And when the children cyant get no food, it tears me apart

Marcus Garvey was a socialist
Sister Nanny was a socialist
Brother Bob Marley was a socialist
But I know a few don’t belong on this list

Pancho Villa was a socialist
Simon Bolivar was a socialist
Sam Tata was a socialist
But I know a few don’t belong on this list

Why are you all be so blind today?
Don’t you see children dying everyday?
I don’t know man Babylon plants dem door
Burnin so pieces of freedom mon

Mahatma Gandhi was a socialist
Mother Teresa was a socialist
Jesus Christ was a socialist
But I know a few don’t belong on this list

Said if you’re a capitalist well then you cyan pon di ya list
If you’re a materialist well then you cyan pon di ya list
And if ya egotist well then you don’t belong on dis list
These are the ones who don’t belong on this list

There’s a hole in my heart
And when the children cyant get no food, it tears me apart
There’s a hole in my heart today!
And it’s only a matter of education that keeps us apart

John Lennon was a socialist
Robin Wood was a socialist
George Harrison was a socialist
But I know a few don’t belong on this list

Bono Vox is a socialist
Carlos Santana is a socialist
Bill Gates is a socialist
But I know a few don’t belong on this list

Manu Chao is a socialist
Yusuf Islam is a socialist
Bob Geldof is a socialist
But I never said I was a communist

Now dis is a socialist
Eleanor Roosevelt, Jose Marti, Harriet Tubman
Martin King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Sitting Bull
Muhammad Ali, Oprah Winfrey, Haile Selassie I

By now I’m certain you’re gettin the gist of it
And these words I said ya soon must get em
Everyone mentioned are a saint or profit
Fighting against socialing justice!
