I had been thinking how burglars just marched into Peter Tosh's house & killed him, & about all the neat little dictator's this world holds, so it's not as political (or about revolution) as one might first think, although Bob Marley's song 'War
There Will Be -- (Lyrics by Roger Hurst)
Where there is no justice
and there is no harmony
We will give battle.
Where there is no humanity
and only misery
We must give battle.
Mr rich man
sitting in your castle
the Police cannot stop the cime.
When the time comes
we'll swarm inside your castle
and slay you each and every one.
****
Where there is starvation
the hungry dying left and right
There will be violence.
Whre there is a prison
that holds all the billions
there must be violence.
We make excuses
every generation
how long till we understand?
The politician
is only just a minion
you know he is not his own man.
****
Where there is oppression
where there is only tyranny
we will give battle.
When there is no anything
and there is only poetry
we must give battle.
And when the dam breaks
spilling all the billions
none of you will stand a chance.
we'll rush like water
filling every current
you can join or you can die.
****
Where greed is the ruler
and it is the only school
there will be violence.
When there is no love left
and only this hate filled world
there must be violence.
And when the time comes
you know you will be shattered
sitting up so high on your throne.
Mr Dictator
you know you will be taken
and nailed up on a cross
to call your own.
