Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
There is a little place in Africa
Where all the children died of AIDS
And there is a little place called Jamaica
Children lose their lives in first grade
And there is a little place in Asia
Children lose their lives to bombs and grenades
And there is a place called America
Children are growing up being afraid
Caught up in the system
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be a victim
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Caught up in the system
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be a victim
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
We are living in a crazy lazy world
Most people fight for power, not peace
We are living in a crazy lazy world
Only Jah can save us from the belly of the beast, yeah
Caught up in the system
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be a victim
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Caught up in the system
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be a victim
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Say there is no more chains
Round their feet or round their necks
But the trick is it's all in the brain
Fighting everyday that's the price you have to pay
For the birth right that you gave away
Gave away
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Gave away, gave away
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Giving more than nothing, always giving something
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up
