Gentleman Church And State Lyrics

Church And State Lyrics

Chorus:



Devilstation they intensify 

Church and state they can't satisfy 

While the children still a multiply 

I see babymothers cry 

While the babyfathers die 



Break my backbone while you sit down on your throne 

You must living ina twylight zone 

It's a good thing I man tuff like a rock stone 

Never gonna hear me weap you'll never gonna hear me mone 

Creating all the circumstance 

Still you're claiming that a you the one who nuh response 

When the revolutionary man a take his stand 

You Mr. Jacket and tie it nuh make sense you run 



Chorus 



Promises and lies is what a gwaan 

These are the things righteous people a scorn 

Prophets a ring the alarm 

Tell the heads of government fi cool and fi calm 

And if you live by what you should 

And you doing what you could 

There'll be no bad but good, no no 

Living out in Hollywood 

Buh care about no flesh and blood 

You sink ina the mod 



Chorus 



You only govern with your weapon 

But dem ya things seh we nuh pon 

Man a no stool fu you fi step pon 

We age trample duppy and the demon 

Nuh join dem gang and me nuh ku-klux dem clan 

Listen to the words of a living man 

This oppression me don't understand 

Are you a creature, beast are you human 



Chorus 



Break my backbone while you sit down on your throne 

You must living ina twylight zone 

It's a good thing I man tuff like a rock stone 

Never gonna hear me weap you'll never gonna hear me mone 

Creating all the circumstance 

Still you're claiming that a you the one who nuh response 

When the revolutionary man a take his stand 

You Mr. Jacket and tie it nuh make sense you run 



Chorus
