There's so much sufferation, so much tribulation
Can someone really tell me what's going on?
They are sucking out the nations, they are killing off creation
Can someone really tell me why this must go on?

They are trying to conquer Jah land
With some money and a gun in their hand
Can someone really tell me what's going on?
They are trying to control Jah man
With religion and science built upon sand
Can someone really tell me why this must go on?

I and I are the living dread
No scissors nor comb shall touch our head
But in this ya world of the living dead
It is so easy to be mislead

There's so much sufferation, so much tribulation
Can someone really tell me what's going on?
Instead of cooperation, they deal with race discrimination
Can someone really tell me why this must go on?
Why this must go on, why this must go on now?

They are trying to conquer Jah land
With some money and a gun in their hand
Can someone really tell me what's going on?
They are trying to control Jah man
With religion and science built upon sand
But they truly must misunderstand

'Cause Jah Jah is a living God, give Jah the glory
Yes Jah Jah is a living God, give Jah the glory
Me say Jah Jah is a living man, give Jah the glory
Say Jah Jah is Almighty God, give Jah the glory

I and I are the living dread, praising Jah Rastafari instead
But in this ya world of the living dead, it is so easy to be mislead

So much sufferation, so much tribulation

Jah Jah is a living God, give Jah the glory
Yeah Jah Jah is a living God, give Jah the glory
Me say Jah Jah is a living man, give Jah the glory
Say Jah Jah is Almighty God, give Jah the glory
You better give Jah the glory, give Jah the glory
You better give Jah the glory, yoy give Jah the glory
