Gentleman - Church and State lyrics
[Gentleman - Church and State lyrics]
Yeah, this is state and church
The university
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry
While the baby fathers die
Break my backbone while you
Sitting on your throne
You must be living in a twilight zone, yeah
It's a good thing I'mma tough
Like a rock stone never gonna hear me weep
You'll never gonna hear me moan
Creating all the circumstance
Still you're claiming that a you
The one who know response
When the revolutionary man a takes his stand
You Mr jacket and tie, it'll
Make sense, you'll run, no, no
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry
While the baby fathers die
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry
While the baby fathers die
Promise and lies is what I warn
These are the things righteous people a scorn
Prophets a ring the alarm
Tell the heads of government fi
Cool and fi calm
And if you live by what you should
And you doing what you could
There'll be no bad but good, no no
Living out in Hollywood
Not caring 'bout the flesh and blood
You sink in the mud
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry
While the baby fathers die
You only govern with your weapon
But them ya things we no depend on
Man a no stool for you fi step on
Me say we trample dopey and the demon, boom!
No join no gang and me no Ku-Klux dem Klan
Listen to the words of a living man
This oppression me don't understand
Are you a creature, beast, are you human
Yeah
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry
While the baby fathers die
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
I see baby mothers cry
While the baby fathers die
Break my backbone while you
Sitting on your throne
You must be living in a twilight zone, yeah
It's a good thing I'mma tough
Like a rock stone never gonna hear me weep
You'll never gonna hear me moan
Creating all the circumstance
Still you're claiming that a you
The one who know response
When the revolutionary man a takes his stand
You Mr jacket and tie, it'll make
Sense, you'll run, no, no, yeah
Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy

Devastation they intensify
Church and state, they can't satisfy
While the children still-a multiply
