How can you be sitting there
Telling me that you care
That you care
When every time I look around
The people suffer in suffering
In everywhere, in everywhere
Na-na-na-na-na
We're the survivors, yes, the black survival
I tell you what
Some people got everything
Some people got nothing
Some people got hopes and dreams
Some people got no aim it seems
Na-na-na-na-na
We're the survivors, yes, the black survival
Yes, we're the survivors like
Daniel out of the lions' den survivors
So my brethren, my sisthren
Which way will we choose
We better hurry, oh, hurry woe now
'Cause we got no time to lose
Some people got plots and schemes
Some people got ways and means
Some people got the facts and claims
Some people got the pride and shzme
Na-na-na-na-na
We're the survivors, yes, the black survival
We're the survivors, yes, the black survival
We're the survivors like Shadrach, Meshach
And Abednego
Thrown in the fire but never get burn
So my brethren, my sisthren
The preaching and talking is done
We gotta live up woe now, woe now
'Cause the Father's time has come
Some people put the best outside
Some people keep the best inside
Some people can't stand up strong
Some people won't wait for long
Na-na-na-na-na
We're the survivors,a black survival
In this age of technological inhumanity
We're the survivors, black survival
Scientific atrocity, we're the survivors
Atomic misphilosophy, we're the survivors
It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity
All together now we're the survivors
Yes, the black survival
A good man is never honoured in his own
Country, black survival
Nothing change, nothing strange
Nothing change, nothing strange
We got to survive, we got to survive
But to live as one equal in the eyes
Of the Almighty

6. SO MUCH TROUBLE IN THE WORLD [Bob Marley]
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
Bless my eyes this morning
Jah sun is on the rise once again
The way earthly things are going
Anything can happen
You see men sailing on their ego trips
Blast off on their spaceship
Million miles from reality
No care for you, no care for me
So much trouble in the world now
So much trouble in the world now
All you got to do is give a little
Give a little, give a little
one more time ye-a-h! ye-a-h!
So you think you have found the solution
But it's just another illusion
So before you check out your tide
Don't leave another cornerstone
Standing there behind
We've got to face the day
Ooh we come what we may
We the street people talking
We the people struggling
Now they are sitting on a time bomb
Now I know the time has come
What goes on up is coming on down
Goes around and comes around
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble in the world

Now we know everything we got to rebel
Somebody got to pay for the work
We've done, rebel

Why should I bend down my head and cry?
No reason why; no reason why; no reason why.
(Why should I bend down my head and cry?)
Got to move! Got to groove!)
(Got to get what I want) What did you say? (Got to get it)
(Got to get what I need) Got to get it, today now.
(Got to get what) Like I say: (I want. Got to get it)
Got to get it - satisfaction.
The old world has ended, yeah!
The new world has just begun,
And all them people that live therein
Shall live on and on.
One more thing:
(Why should I bend down my head and cry?) My father is a king.
(Why should I bend down my head and cry?) All the riches in the earth.
So tell me why,
(Why should I bend down my head and cry?)
Why should I bend down my head and cry? /fadeout/
18. REDEMPTION SONG [Bob Marley]
Yeah!
Yes, this little son ghere is called "Old Pirates", you know:
"Redemption Song".
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my 'and was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery;
None but ourself can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.
Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Sing wi' me, children:
In every way, now;
In everyday;
In every way;
In everyday.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery;
None but ourself can free our mind.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall dey kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.
Won't you help to sing, o-oo-oo!
Another song of freedom? - yeah, child!
'Cause all I ever had, did ya know? -
Redemption songs.
Sing the harmony:
Redemption songs;
Come on with me, children!
In every way, now;
In everyday;
In every way, now;
In every way.
Thank you, very much!
