Runnings in the ghetto well hot CHORUS I know Babylon for a plot Runnings inna Earth well hot False rulers sit back and get fat Runnings inna yard well hot Can't get no food for the pot Runnings inna Earth well hot It come in like a melting pot I cant stop thinking 'bout South Africa Why do my people have to suffer? Racist regime nothing to offer Not even two pence in the coffer Women and babies under baton charge Informers, backsliders are all at large Stoning of churches even cemeteries We've been in turmoil for centuries There must be something we can do There must be a way we can get through There must be something we can do There must be a way we can get through CHORUS Runnings in the ghetto well hot I know Babylon for a plot Runnings inna Earth well hot False rulers sit back and get fat Runnings inna yard well hot Can't get no food for the pot Runnings inna Earth well hot It come in like a melting pot Can't get no food, feel restless Sometimes it seems so helpless Guns, bombs, dogs and batons We've had enough It seems the only solution is fight rough with tough Guns, bombs, dogs and batons We've had enough It seems the only solution is fight rough with tough There must be something we can do There must be a way we can get through There must be something we can do There must be a way we can get through CHORUS Runnings in the ghetto well hot I know Babylon for a plot Runnings inna Earth well hot False rulers sit back and get fat Runnings inna yard well hot Can't get no food for the pot Runnings inna Earth well hot It come in like a melting pot We know (I and I know) We know seh them done have a plot We know (yes we know) We know seh the Earth a run hot We know (I and I know) We know Babylon got a plot We know (yes we know) It come in like a melting plot
