if you were walking down the street
and saw the army on their feet
//I would pick up the gun and run, else Babylon catch me
What would you do
And then you turn around the bend
got a rifle in the hand
//I would pick up the gun and run, else Babylon catch me
What would you do
better get ready
for the gunning and the running and the curfew time again
oh lord
and the shooting and the looting and the curfew time again
and when the time has come to search
for weapons hiding in the lurch
//I would pick up the gun and run, else Babylon catch me
What would you do
and if they carry you to jail
and tell you rasta no ???
//I would pick up the gun and run, else Babylon catch me
What would you do
true i man bitter and i man tread
i have no fear the babylon lead me
the army search me the army find
true i am rebel i mind no mind
and when the rebel them arise
and the army realize
//I would pick up the gun and run, else Babylon catch me
What will you do
and when they carry them to jail
until they rebel no ???
//I would pick up the gun and run, else Babylon catch me
What will you do
you better get ready
for the gunning and the running and the curfew time again
???
curfew time again
the army make a raid
for dozen rebel gone to jail
//I would pick up the gun and run, else Babylon catch me
What will you do
when the cour of appeal
decides to listen to the deal
//I would pick up the gun and run, else Babylon catch me
What will you do
??? keep singing
true i man bitter and i man tread
i man no afraid the babylon lead me
the army search me the army find
true i am rebel i mind no mind
