Too young to die
Everybody Don't want no war, 'Cos we're too young to die, So many people, All around the world, Seen their brothers fry. What's the motive? In your madness. You've made my people cry. So politicians this time Keep your distance. 'Cos we're too young to die. You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, What's the answer? To our problems. I think we've gone too high, Little children, Never said a word now, But still they have to die. It won't be long. Dancing like we do now, To put this sad world right. So don't you worry, Suffer no more, 'Cos we're too young to die. You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, You know we're too young to die, All gone when they drop the bomb. Can the politicians reassure? 'Cos here I am presuming that Nobody wants a war There's so many people praying Just to find out if they're staying. But lately stately governments And disillusioned leaders, So full of empty promises But rarely do they feed us. Put our backs against the wall, Or don't we count at all? Can you decide, Are you mesmerised. Do you know which side you're standing? Cos when it falls gonna take us all. Gotta know what we're demanding, I never lie, Can't your hear the cry, Coming from on high, WE'RE TOO YOUNG TO DIE.

Hooked up

If I like it, I do it
Say that we have all the time we need to make it right Don't hurry for nobody If it ain't the thing you like Know your place and fit your space, young man you will conform I didn't hear my soul express those rules when I was born. Cause I'm free to roam 'cause it's my home You can't stop sweet inclination The kids want the system breaking down Not higher education If it ain't no natural law Then you can keep your regulations Cause if I like it I do it But I keep on movin' though they wanna bring me down I've gotta run for the cover, And I keep on smiling Though they wanna tie me down and give me death for the lover, And I keep on losing though I'm proving what I'm doing I'm still groovin', and if I like it I do it You've got to help those people break that legislation We can overcome this suffocation, Execute your natural liberation Happy to enjoy rejuvenation, All around hear the sound No-one can stop us now, A thousand rules for plastic fools Now they can take a bow. Surely there's been time to see it dosn't work by now, So if I like it, I do it Still I, Keep on finding that they're pushing those distorted visions. And I keep on living but I'm dying 'cause of their decisions, If I keep on looking I can find a higher space I'm still groovin' and if I like it I'll do it

Emergency on planet earth
The kids need education, And the streets are never clean, I've seen, a certain disposition, prevailing in the wind, Sweet change, if anybody's listening? Emergency on planet earth. Is that life that I am witnessing, Or just another wasted birth. Now, we got emergency Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth Now, we got emergency Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth Think we're standing for injustice, White gets two and black gets five years, Took me quite a while to suss this, But now I know my head is cleared And a little boy in hungry land, is just a picture in the news, Won't see him in that tv advertising, 'cause it might put you off your food Now, we got emergency Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth Now, we got emergency Oh, we got emergency on planet Earth

Whatever it is, I just can't stop
If I pick it up, can I put it down, Whatever it is I just can't stop For only 20 seconds at a time it's all mine. I got, too much, pressure, Got me under it's thumb And it's no fun, you can lose Now I got a choice but I can't choose Insistent as you are Is no guarantee that you'll go far Rock steady, if you can But I've never been a steady man, People, wanna shoot you down, If you can't swim then you will drown In sorrow, Can't get no medical attention till tomorrow, Sadlands are where I live, But that's none of your business, You keep asking, and soon enough The kids gonna have to get rough, Maybe I'm a speed king Push with the foot and I'm smiling, I can glide on the love inside, And there was you thinking that my hands were tied All along I saw you hoping I would slip and I'm not joking The evidence in these events Is still your lack of commonsense Did you really think that I would sink Because I like another drink Have to get up to get down The remedy is in the sound Absurdity of your suggestion, Leaves me asking just one question, If you are my friend today? Why do you wanna hear me say? If I pick it up, can I put it down Whatever it is, I just can't stop Repeat
