Educated Fools

[Intro: Bunny Wailer] Hear this three monkeys sitting under a coconut tree (really?) Discussing things as they are said to be Said one to the others, now listen you two There’s a strange rumor that can’t be true They say man was descended from our noble race But the very idea is a big disgrace No monkey ever deserted his wife Or her baby, to ruin their lives Yeah The monkeys drift is mine (that’s right) [Chorus: Damian Marley] Well educated fools they have ruined di world And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls And start bank it up inna federal reserves And then Rasta fuck it up and insight riot Warn dem fi cool and we did warn dem fi quiet Now dem hear the kick drum di snare and di hi hat Load up dem belly with some copper shot diet [Verse 1: Damian Marley] Imagine after so much chanting and prayers But a revolutionary situation requires Mi fi come tear off unno face wid pliers Surround dem ends wid all some burning tires Round up dem friends and put dem pon trials Until dem send di reparation dollars Warning to all di political scholars political thieves and political liars Political cocaine and gun suppliers Di whole a dem a go down inna flames and fires Well unno better fly out like some frequent fliers Bound to feel the wrath of di real Bongonyahs Hey don't fuck yourself next time you read out di budget Di government case, ah poor people a judge it Dem bring di guns but di youths dem ah bust it Bun dem skeletons weh lock up inna closet Wipe out dem species and all dem inhabits With a warm series of pain and havoc Nah clean no feces fi money prefer grab it Dem mek mi resort to violence di race get lead up Somebody nah live up Somebody goin dead up BLOW!!
