[Intro]
[staccato electric guitar skanks, syncopated bass, steady rimshot on beat 3]
[Chorus]
Political war
Dem a fighting for power
Politician, why we hunger?
Starvation, we criticize each other
Everyone wants to be a leader
Too many chiefs, not enough Indians
We living in a political war
Political war
Dem a wicked liar, telling us words with a crooked smile
Can't trust no one today
Action speak louder than words
Louder than words
(Oh yeah)
We living in a political war
Everybody wants to be a leader
(Everybody wants to be a leader)
(Rat-tat-tat-bang-bang-bang)
We living in a political war
Everybody wants to be a leader
[Verse 1]
[bass becomes more melodic, synth pads enter]
Dem a fight against political system
Dem old man system
In this life we need vision
We champion the generation
Listen up, rise up for connection
One money dem can move with a direction
In mind, we all want freedom
[Chorus]
We living in a world full of badman
And dem are wicked band, yeah-yeah
We better come together as one
And fight this political system
This political system
[Verse 2]
[synth melody enters]
Sick and tired of living in the past
It's like we living in a wrong man's world
Wrong man tradition
Come on, come on, let's get together
Reunited as one, let's build our love
And respect the king, next generation right now
It's got to be no stuck-up man
But make-up man
It's not if, tell you the truth, let's hope for the best
One beat, one heart
[Chorus]
We living in a political war
Everybody wants to be a leader
(Everybody wants to be a leader)
We living in a political war
Everybody wants to be a leader
[Outro]
[vocal harmonies layer]
Like Jesus Christ says
Like Jesus Christ says
Stop the fussing and the fighting
Can we unite and be one?
All of the people, I love you people
Represent the star in the middle
Yes, we are equal
It's like a math, add minus and subtract
From you, I have to choose the right path
There's no divide the situation
In the past, the next generation to come
It's time for unity
Unity is what we need
In this community
Come together, my family
Rise up for one
