Rescue The Children - Junior Murvin

Everyday you take up the daily paper

All you read is about war

War over here, war over there

War, war is always aloud

Your simplest world is a ball of confusion

And there ain’t nothing but confusion

Confusion in the land, in the air

Confusion everywhere

Somebody got to rescue the children (x2)

Somebody got to give 'em helping hand

White against Black everyday

Looting, shooting, going to jail

Lord, it’s a dirty dirty shame

The poor people of the ghettos

They really can’t do no better

The men of high society

Sit at home sippin' his coffee

You see he really don’t give a damn

Because he has his share already

Somebody got to rescue the children

Somebody got to give 'em helping hand

Little children going to school

Nobody to set this golden rule

Somebody got to set an exemple for the children, to follow

They’re the people of tomorrow, lord

The cost of living is rising high

And only the strong will survive

Its gettin' higher higher higher higher higher higher higher higher higher (x3)

Man judging man by this clothes he wear

What the hell is going on down here

This world ain’t what it’s supposed to be

There’s no love, no unity

God, come down and this situation that we livin' in

Somebody got to rescue the children, somebody …
