Cold Blood

Peter Tosh

Album: Wanted Dread & Alive

Every time I see Babylon
blood runs cold, cold, cold.
Every time I see the wicked men
my belly moves, moves, moves.

You'll say after me Sir.
I solemnly swear...
I solemnly swear.
That the evidence I shall give...
That the evidence I shall give.
Shall be the truth...
Shall be the truth.
The whole truth...
The whole truth.
And nothing but the truth...
And nothing but the truth.
So help me God...
So help I Jah.
So help me God...
So help I Jah.
So help me God!
So help I Jah Rastafari.

Every time I see the wicked men
my belly moves, moves, moves.

You are brought before this court
for having ganja in your possession.
Guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty your honor.
How could one man do such a thing?
Gun Jah? It is totally impossible your honor.

I can remember, yeah
when I was framed and jailed, brutalized.
The grudge would find me guilty
for an exhibit they could not find.

And every time I see Babylon
my blood runs cold.
I mean cold.
And every time I see the wicked men
my belly moves.

When I see the condition, yeah
I say it's a curse.
For the past 400 years, oh Lord
things get from bad to worst.

And every time I see Babylon
my blood runs cold.
I mean so cold.
And every time I see them, wicked
wicked, wicked men
my belly moves.

And every time I see Babylon
my blood run cold.
Every time I see wicked men
my belly move, you know?

Every time I see Babylon
my blood run cold.
10 degrees below zero.
Every time I see the wicked men
my belly move.
From the front to the back.

Every time I see Babylon
my blood run cold.
