Johnny Clarke - Joshua's Word lyrics

Scatting

None shall escape the Gun Court in this time
These words were spoken by Joshua
None shall escape the Gun Court in this time
These words were spoken by Joshua

Arise gunmen an' forward up your
Gun into the churches now
For he that is found with illegal
Firearm shall brought before the court
An' drive yourself in there
An' get your life sentence
So throw away your gun
An' let us have some fun
Anything you do, the law is watching you
So don't you be no fool
Just stick by the rule

'Cause it dreadful (yeah yeah)
'Cause it dreadful

You could-a screw, chop di youth
Police an' soldier will pull your screw
You could-a bad 'til you fool
Police an' soldier will make you cool
You could-a screw, chop di youth
Police an' soldier will pull di screw
You could-a bad 'til you fool
Police an' soldier will make you cool
(yeah, yeah)

Scatting

Now you know that crime don't pay
So why don't you obey?
So you see, there's no place to run
So throw away your gun
Mister gunman, be cool
An' don't you be no fool
Just throw away your gun
An' let us have some fun
You could-a bad 'til you fool
Police an' soldier will make you cool
You could-a screw, chop di youth
Police an' soldier will pull di screw
You could-a bad 'til you fool
Police an' soldier will make you cool
