Di Great Insohreckshan

It was in April, nineteen.....eighty one
Down 'n on dee ghetto of Brix-ton
Dat deh Babylon dem cause such a fric-tion
Dat it bring about a GREAT insohreck-shun
And it spread all over deh nay-shun
It was TRULY an historical occas-sion
It was event of deh year and I wish I had been der
When we run riot all over Brixton
When we MASH up plenty police van
When we MASH up the wicked one plan
When we MASH up the Swamp 81, fi what?
Fi make deh rule of dem understand
Dat we NAH take no more of dem oppression
And meh check out deh ghetto grapevine
To find out all dat I can find
Every rebel jus a revel in dem stahry
Dem ah talk bout deh power and deh glory
Dem ah talk bout deh burning and the looting
Dem ah talk bout deh smashing and the grabbing
Dem ah tell me bout deh vanquish and deh victree
Dem said deh babylon dem went too far
So wha? wi ad woz fi bun two kyar
And one or two innocent get marred, buh wha?
Thas how it go sometimes in a war, in star(?)
Thas how it go sometimes in a war
Dem say we burn down deh George we coulda burn da landlord
We burn down deh George we never burn da landlord
When we run riot all over Brixton
When we MASH up plenty police van
When we MASH up the wicked one plan
When we MASH up the Swamp 81
Dem say we commendear car and we gather ammunition
We build wif barricade and deh wicked catch afraid
We sen out wi scout fog oh fine dem whereabout
Den wi faam-up wi passi an wi mek wi raid
Well now dem run down deh plan "call to action"
But dem plastic bullet an' dem water can-non
Will bring a BLAM BLAM, will bring a BLAM BLAM
Nevermind Scarman...WE bring a BLAM BLAM
