Linton Kwesi Johnson - Di Great Insohreckshan lyrics

It was in April, nineteen.....eighty one Down 'n on dee ghetto of Brix-ton Dat deh Babylon dem cause such a fric-tion Dat it bring about a GREAT insohreck-shun And it spread all over deh nay-shun It was TRULY an historical occas-sion It was event of deh year and I wish I had been der When we run riot all over Brixton When we MASH up plenty police van When we MASH up the wicked one plan When we MASH up the Swamp 81, fi what? Fi make deh rule of dem understand Dat we NAH take no more of dem oppression And meh check out deh ghetto grapevine To find out all dat I can find Every rebel jus a revel in dem stahry Dem ah talk bout deh power and deh glory Dem ah talk bout deh burning and the looting Dem ah talk bout deh smashing and the grabbing Dem ah tell me bout deh vanquish and deh victree Dem said deh babylon dem went too far So wha? wi ad woz fi bun two kyar And one or two innocent get marred, buh wha? Thas how it go sometimes in a war, in star(?) Thas how it go sometimes in a war Dem say we burn down deh George we coulda burn da landlord We burn down deh George we never burn da landlord When we run riot all over Brixton When we MASH up plenty police van When we MASH up the wicked one plan When we MASH up the Swamp 81 Dem say we commendear car and we gather ammunition We build wif barricade and deh wicked catch afraid We sen out wi scout fog oh fine dem whereabout Den wi faam-up wi pa**i an wi mek wi raid Well now dem run down deh plan "call to action" But dem plastic bullet an' dem water can-non Will bring a BLAM BLAM, will bring a BLAM BLAM Nevermind Scarman...WE bring a BLAM BLAM
