Rich Man Poor Man

The Gladiators

[Refrain]
The rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Everyone claim that them are di chief
The rich man buy di poor man's life
The poor man take away di beggar man's wife

[Verse 1]
Don't cry, my brothers
Don't cry, my sisters
These tears won't change the situation
It's just a form, a form of reaction
If you go step on fire, fire burn you
If you play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth
So stand up strong, you got to know where you belong
Say, the weak ones now will soon become strong (Hey)

[Chorus]
Hey, everything will soon be okay
As soon as the war is over
Jah children will be free to come over
Singing and dancing, ready to take over
Have some faith, have a little faith

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Hey, everything will soon be okay
As soon as the war is over
Jah children will be free to come over
Singing and dancing, ready to take over
Have some faith, have a little faith

[Refrain]
The rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Everyone claim that them are di chief
The rich man buy di poor man's life
The poor man take away di beggar man's wife

[Verse 2]
Don't cry, my brothers
Don't cry, my sisters
These tears won't change the situation
It's just di form, di form of reaction
When you go step on fire, fire burn you
If you play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth
So stand up strong, you got to know where you belong
Say, the weak ones now will soon become strong (Hey)

[Verse 3]
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
The tears won't change the situation
It's just a form, a form of reaction
When you step on fire, fire burn you
Play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth
So stand up strong, you got to know where you belong
Say, the weak ones now will soon become strong

[Refrain]
The rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Everyone claim that them are di chief
The rich man buy di poor man's life
The poor man take away di beggar man's wife

[Outro]
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
