Martin Jondo Caught In A Ghetto Lyrics

ain't it your foolish heart which rules your hand
ain't it a greedy thought to cheat a friend
ain't it your silent wish to be the king
ain't it a weaking who's killing for money and things

tell me man where is your knowledge
you'll never see smoke without fire

tell me man where are you gone
gone and gone

sell your soul but when you wake up
wake up wake up

you'll receive a bag of scorn

you are caught in a ghetto caught in a ghetto
caught in a ghetto of your own
so you fall in the pit woe
fall in the pit woe
you've been digging for all the souls

and in these hard times of trouble
you will be far way from their side
and when they call the offender
there is a day which you deny

oh man you got that money
and greedy dogs won't ever bite
judge I see that honey
you vow as easy as you lie

look into your heart if you really build a cornerstone
fighting their religion man you're eating flesh and bone
who's killing for the righteous
he will never earn the throne
sitting ina ghetto in a ghetto of your own bless
we're all depending on fire Jah love and crystal waters
this is how we express the present to all the sons and daughters
life ain't no prison but still the civilized is the privileged
somebody save me and lead me to the bridge and

history is painting
a b_____ vision on your flag
but your boat isn't shaking
you're swearing you obey your God
man don't you know that looks are deceiving
and tomorrow never dies
no never dies

you are caught in a ghetto caught in a ghetto
caught in a ghetto of your own
so you fall in the pit woe
fall in the pit woe
you've been digging for all the souls
