Confrontation

Mr. President, esteemed delegates
'For the safety of the world
Those who disrupt (terrorize) peace right now
We're going to call them out now'

Since the dawn of modern civilization
Generations have watched and inherited only the conflicts of world wars
But behold, the wedding supper of the lamb and the bridegroom with his bride
Then the children of the earth will know the true meaning of one love
Then mother earth will enjoy her honeymoon in peace
Finally putting an end to the desires, lust, and suffering of wars and rumors of wars
Selah!

Look at the innocent going up in smoke
And propaganda spreading in the Sunday papers
Not even Superman could save you in his cape cause
Red judgement is blazing, blazing ya
And Babylon is betting the youth's lives like racehorses
And gave them a uniform and shaved their heads with razors
And now the clock strikes war, don't be shocked cause
They're in their churches trying to save
Saviors

Can we do it? We can do it, we will do it!

Boom!
Tell them not to call me out when the world government is falling apart
Only a few men survive crawling out
Leaving their colleagues sprawled out
Nearly dead!
Medics have to haul him out
And give him two tranquilizers to stall him out
There on base!
Can't get any calls out when he hears from the shout last week
His mistress found new shoes
His wife can't get any news and lately she's starting to doubt
She's still searching!
And the youth are crying out
Working hard not to let it all come out
Well, it's not safe to walk around
A slaughterhouse from Baghdad to Waterhouse
She starts to wake up sometimes she wants a spouse
She starts going out, starts drinking darker stout
Guns come out!
Working people's funds have run out
Had a show last week and no one showed up
Bombs come out!
My gas tank just ran out
Damn it!
The scotch tape just ran out
Weed's gone!
Your senses must be dulled, I got a pound stashed in the back there while the sun's out
Not coming out!
Until the chalice burns out
Not coming out!
Until the bad vibes burn out, a war!

From Zimbabwe to the Berlin wall
Blazing like a burning ball, loose ball
That doesn’t work in war
Sleeping doesn't work in war
Can't wear jheri curls in war
No diamonds and pearls in war
Can't drink what's served at the bar cause
Gas will mess up your nerves in war
Shots will bleed through your shirt in war
Can't go lifting up no skirts in war
Now disease and germs in war
Can't go releasing your sperm in war
Stamina must be preserved in war
Fire constantly burns in war
Red, it’s red, it’s red, it’s red, it’s red!

If you can't handle it, if you're not ready to do it
Then you will die
You race of cowards, you race of fools
You race of good-for-nothings!
If you can't do what other men have done
What other nations have done, what other races have done
Then you yourself shall perish!

Look at the innocent going up in smoke
And propaganda spreading in the Sunday papers
Not even Superman could save you in his cape cause
Red judgement is blazing, blazing ya
And Babylon is betting the youth's lives like racehorses
And gave them a uniform and shaved their heads with razors
And now the clock strikes war, don't be shocked cause
They're in their churches trying to save
Saviors

Look at it now
Hey!
Now our foreparents sacrificed enough
Their blood, sweat, and tears flowed like syrup
Any day a revolution might explode, and the skies over Kingston lighting up
For the new generation rising up, of youths nowadays who they're spotting
And through reasoning they're abiding
Searching for the sign and the sign is us
Searching for the truth all you find is us
Searching for the troops still behind is us
The almighty we recruit and we come from the roots
We build like roach-killing boots
We just can’t stop, Rastafari design made me tough
If it’s a fight for freedom, sign me up
Cause your television can’t blind me up
Soldiers and police are waking up, realizing they're no more right than us
Realizing there's no use fighting us
Realizing they're opening their eyes to see the same demoralizing life as us
So we're not taking talk nor smiling up
Cause the word tempers are boiling up
And who's calling the shots and not firing none
Controlling the minds of the young, bringing down

Bear famine, no rain falls from London to Dadeland Mall
All the sons of the Virgin cry
Institute of the church in war
Preaching and researching war
Practicing and rehearsing war
Teaching and they're learning war
Instigating and urging war
Always stay alert in war
Cause men will jump out of a swerving car
Now bees and birds in war
And the freaks and nerds in war
And the straight and curves in war
Forward and reverse in war
Red, it’s red, it’s red, it’s red, it’s red!
