[Intro] *(Spoken)
(n.c)
Since the beginning of modern civilization,
Generations have witnessed and inherited,
The only conflicts of world wars.
But behold the marriage supper of the lamb,
And the bridegroom onto his bride;
Then shall the earth's children know the true expression of one love.
Fm
Then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace.
Bbm C7
Forever eliminating the aspi-rations,
Db Bbm Ab C7
Lust and anguish of wars and rumours of wars. Selah!
[Chorus 1]
Fm
See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors,
Bbm C7
And propaganda spreading in-a the Sunday papers.
Db Bbm
Not even Superman could-a save you with him cape, 'cos,
Ab C7
Red-a judgement a-blaze, blaze ya.
Fm
And Babylon a-gamble the youth dem life like racehorse,
Bbm C7
And gi dem a uniform and a-shave dem head with razors.
Db Bbm
And now the clock a-strike war, don't be amazed, 'cos,
Ab C7
In-a dem churches tryin' to save, saviours.

Can we do it? We can do it; we shall do it! (Boom!)

[Interlude] *(Spoken)
(n.c)
If you cannot do it,
If you are not prepared to do it, then you will die.
You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles,
You race of good for nothings.
If you cannot do what other men have done,
What other nations have done, what other races have done,
Then you yourself shall die.
[Chorus 2]

Realising there's no use fighting us.
Bbm

C7
To see the same demoralising life as us.

[Outro] *(Spoken)
(n.c)
If you cannot do it,
If you are not prepared to do it, then you will die.
You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles,
You race of good for nothings.
If you cannot do what other men have done,
What other nations have done, what other races have done,
Then you yourself shall die.
